Libraries are often arranged by some sort of numeric or alpha-numeric system that corresponds to subject areas. The 2 common arrangement systems in North America are the Dewey Decimal system and the Library of Congress classification. There are other forms of classification systems, including the Universal Decimal Classification system and the Colon Classification system created by Ranganathan.
Most libraries arrange their books in a similar fashion. They are often arranged first by subject. These can be the type of book such as reference, non-fiction, fiction, self-help, religion, history, biography, autobiography, and so on. They also can be further arranged by alphabetical order by author. The library will also use the Dewey decimal system to arrange the library books.

There are multiple ways of arranging books in the library. The Dewey Decimal system is perhaps the most common, but some libraries alphabetize their books.
Books are arranged on shelves according to a specific system, such as the Dewey Decimal Classification or Library of Congress Classification. A card catalog is a physical or digital system that contains information about the books in a library, organized by author, title, subject, and other categories to help patrons locate materials. Both the arrangement of books and the card catalog system help users efficiently locate and access library materials.
Library is to books as books is to painting

If A equals all books in your library and B equals all books then A < B, unless your library is the only library and books are only kept in a library, then A = B.
