Finding a circulating book

This blog is about finding a circulating book. To the untrained mind a circulating book could sound like a number of things. Maybe a book about circles is the first thought that comes to mind when one sees circulating book. In fact, the first time I saw circulating book, I assumed it was a book that moves in a circle. In more or less words, I was actually correct. To the trained mind, a circulating book is nothing more than a book that one would find in the library. It is nothing more, nothing less.

After I learned that a circulating book was a library book I found myself a little upset. I felt this way partly because I didn’t know what it meant, and also because we make things so difficult. Like seriously?  Why don’t we just refer to a book that can be found in a library a “Library Book”? So for my blog I am going to refer to it as a library book. Finding a library book is quite simple really. I would simple ask the librarian to find it for me. That is probably not the way you should go about it but it will get the job done. If the librarian cannot find the book or at least tell you it’s been checked out, she should probably be fired. In grades K-12 you are taught to use the Dewey Decimal system (which I NEVER learned). The advanced higher learning way of finding a library book is by using the Library of congress Classification System or LOC for short. Explaining how to use the LOC could possibly put me at 5 pages. Since I’m well over my short 250 word blog, I will say salutations. 

Okay so scratch the salutations, for i have misinformed you. A circulation book is indeed a library book, but there are many types of books in a library. As stated earlier, a reference book can also be fopund in a library. There is a key difference between the two. Unlike a reference book, a circulation book may be checked out to enjoy its reading inside it anywhere you please. And I guess that is why you would distinguish it a circulating book; Because it can get around.
