What are Call Numbers? Call numbers are the numbers and letters on the spine of the book that indicate its location on the shelf. The Baker Library at Norwalk uses the Library of Congress Classification System for organizing our books on the shelves. The call numbers for most books related to food, cooking, and nutrition begin with TX. You may find some books with call numbers beginning with RA, RC, and RJ that are more targeted to the health-related aspects of nutrition.

Tips for Finding Books & eBooks
Hint! If you're searching for books from the Norwalk Catalog search box, use the "Books" filter under "Tweak My Results" on the left of the page. This will narrow your results to include only physical and electronic books (ebooks). To only see physical or ebooks, follow the corresponding directions below.
Finding Physical Books:
After selecting the "Books" filter you can further narrow your results to only include physical titles by using the "Location," "Available at NCC," and/or the "Delivery Format: Physical" filters.
The "Physical" filter will show you all physical books that the Norwalk Library has in its collection, regardless of whether it's currently available or not.
If you want to take a book out today, the "Available at NCC" filter will only show books currently available at the library. (i.e. Any books currently checked out to another patron will not be displayed.)
Lastly, instead of or in addition to using the "Physical" filter, you may choose to use one, or a combination of the "Location" filters. Most books are housed in the "Book Stacks" - located on the second floor of the library - but we do have some titles located in our "ESL" and "Oversize" collections, as well as the "Reference Stacks" and "Reading Commons." Some books, not available for check out or use beyond the library walls may be located behind the circulation desk at "Library Check-Out Desk" or "Library Technical Services."
Once you've found a book you're interested in, you will need to locate it on the shelves in the library. Below are some useful resources to help you navigate the library and find your book!
If you need additional help locating a book be sure to ask one of our friendly librarians!
Find eBooks
If you are looking for eBooks you will want to use the "Full Text Online" filter in addition to the "Books" filter. This should show you all the eBooks related to your search that the library provides access to.
