Stapleton Library Breaks Ground — on Wrong Side of Street

September 16, 2011 by admin

A library spokeswoman commented on the mistake: “The Dewey Decimal System is a time-honored tradition. Unfortunately with the internet, many people have forgotten how to use this system. The mistake made here was a simple and honest one: the contractor accidentally looked for the blueprints under 912.95 — the code for Geography and Travel, with Graphic representations of earth, with geographic treatment, written as a periodical — when he should have looked under 912.926, which would have taken him straight to the correct location across the library and down the stairs to the room on the far-left, behind the door.” The mistake will be corrected in the coming weeks. A special library consultant, fluent in Dewey, was hired on to help ensure this mistake will not happen again. In an ironic twist, the general contractor will now have to pay a late fee due to construction no longer being on time. ]]>
