If you know how to properly reshelve the books on your own, you know who you are. Just do it. No one will care nor will anyone bother you if you aren’t causing a problem.

For everyone else, there is the dump cart.

I see these messages more as being aimed at those who don’t even know there is a system, those who do but don’t care to learn it, or some other combo of known or unknown unknowns.

I think you should never reshelf books yourself.

For one you can’t be absolutely sure which archiving system is used in the specific library without either asking or working there, which kind of moots the point.

For another this can put back wrongly archived books back in the system. While it seems reasonable that a book is archieved correctly this does not have to be the case and therefore simply putting it back could be wrong

For those that want to learn, its the Dewey decimal system.

  Library of Congress Classification (LCC) is better simply because all bibles are listed under the letters BS
