You’ve probably heard of the Dewey Decimal System, but how much do you know about the man who originally came up with it? Nicole, Drew, Killian, and Amanda discuss Melvil Dewey – from his contributions to libraries to his controversial takes – and whether or not the Dewey Decimal System should still have a place in today’s libraries.
The Distracted Librarians can be found on Podbean, Apple Podcasts, YouTube Music, Spotify, Amazon Music, iHeartRadio, and PlayerFM.
