Dewey Decimal

A while back the San Francisco library system moved from the usual card catalog to an online system. While the benefits of a comprehensive online system clearly outweighs the paper card catalog, once the switch was made I really missed shifting through the card catalog when I went to the library (and as a kid I spent A LOT of time in library). The main branch kept a lot of the paper cards, and had people write a memory of the book on the catalog card. They then pasted them as mural throughout the library- a small memory of the original catalog system. I love the old cards up on the wall so much- one of my favorite parts of the library.
