Dewey Dare 900s: History, Geography, and Auxiliary Disciplines

The Dewey 900s contain books that explore the histories of places, time periods, and events, and include military history, U.S. history and presidential biographies. This is also the place to find travel guides and stories of exploration--including books about extraterrestrial worlds!--as well as books about genealogy and memoirs about family history. Pro tip: at some libraries, biographies are all located in the 900s, but at Lawrence Public Library biographies are filed throughout the nonfiction collection. For instance, biographies about artists and musicians are shelved in the 700s with books about art and music.
