Unlike a typical public library which arranges most, if not all, works of fiction alphabetically by the author's last name, Fintel Library uses the Library of Congress system of classifying literature. This classification scheme divides literature according to the language or country of origin. A summary chart is below. Generally, literature of all types falls into the P - PZ subclasses. In Fintel Library, these works are shelved on the East side of the second floor. Here's a map:
