It is a poster which reads "Teens, help yourself. Look for these numbers on the shelves. For more privacy, use the self-checkout machines" The numbers go as so: Abuse/incest: 362.76 and 362.78 Abusive relationships: 362.8292 and 362.88 Acne/skin care: 616.53 and 646.726 AIDS/HIV: 616.9792 Alcohol: 362.292 Anorexia: 616.8526 Birth control: 363.9609 and 613.94 Body changes/puberty: 612.661 Body image: 306.4613 and 616.852 Date rape: 362.883 Depression: 616.852, 616.8527, and 616.85844 Divorce: 306.89 Drugs: 362.292 and 362.2918 Health/hygiene: 613.04243 and 613.7043 LGBTQ: 306.766 and 613.951 Pregnancy: 306.856, 306.8743, and 618.2024 Relationships and Dating: 305.235, 306.70835, and 646.77 Self-esteem: 305.235 Sex: 613.951 STDs: 616.951 Suicide: 362.2, 362.28, and 362.283 At the very bottom, the library title, which reads "saclibrary.org," though the I is replaced with a @ sign (and the a part is replaced with an i).

There are two reblogs: The first is by thessalian, who says "I want this in every library, everywhere. After all, some kids won't even google this stuff because they don't want parents/siblings checking their browser history. The second person is kungfucarrie, who says, "This is really awesome. And if you're not familiar with how the Dewey Decimal system works, the numbers are subject-based, which means these numbers are applicable in EVERY library. So if you see something you want to research on this list, look for those same numbers in any of your local libraries.
