Who was Melvil Dewey? He was the fabulous man who put Dewey in the Dewey Decimal System.
Born: December 10, 1851
Died: December 26, 1931
American librarian Melvil Dewey invented his famous decimal classification system for books in 1876.
It is used in libraries around the world. Thanks Melvil Dewey for making it easy for us to find books in the library!
He is my American Idol!
