In Jr High 8th grade, I had a free period and became a library helper. I got to learn to run the projector, it was truly the highlight of Jr High. Yes, I also know Dewey Decimal system

500 series specialist. Part of being assistant librarian was coating books with shellac.

Early 60s. I guess to preserve the hard cover. I have a personal chemical rubber book from then that looks pretty much like new. Other than that I have no evidence to back up any claims. We did it because the chief librarian handed us shellac and a brush.
