Welcome to the FISD Library

There are different types of resources available in the library - some may be checked out, and others must be used in the library. See your librarian for specifics.
- Reference section - The reference books are shelved together, and are sometimes available for check-out (ask your librarian about this). These include encyclopedias, atlases, dictionaries, thesauruses, and various books on specific topics (such as period histories, U.S. Presidents, etc.)
- Biographies - Biographies are shelved together, and are alphabetized by the last name of the SUBJECT (not the actual author).
- Nonfiction - Nonfiction books are shelved together, and are organized according to the Dewey decimal system.
