How are library books organised in a library?

Answer:
Generally, fiction (i.e. novels) are arranged alphabetically by the author's last name, and non-fiction (i.e. books on specific topics) are arranged by subject categories. The most well-known subject classification scheme is probably the Dewey Decimal System, but there are others such as Library of Congress, UDC, etc.
