001.9 -- The Lure of the Unknown

Of all the numbers in the Dewey Decimal System, none seems to have a closer affinity with the unknown than.... 001.9. Oh, I know, the 530s of physics try to explain the Big Bang, the 793s delve into magic, and the 305s try to explain the mysteries of the opposite sex, but 001.9 -- come on! What could be more exciting? Bigfoot, Yeti, Nessie, aliens -- these are the things that inspire us, that beg to be answered, and yet at the same time defy our solutions. If you find yourself pondering these timeless questions, come to the library to lose yourself in the 001.9 section. To find the books in the CHMS catalog in the 001.9 section, click on any 001.9 in this blog, then type in 001.9 as a call number.
