A call number is used in a library to represent the subject of an item, as well as show where on the shelf it can be found. The number given to a library item is based on standardized cataloguing procedures, as dictated by either the Dewey Decimal Classification system (typically used in school and public libraries) or the LIbrary of Congress Classification system (typically used by academic and research libraries). The call number is usually found on the spine of a book.
In a library using the Dewey Decimal system (which would include public libraris), a book about growing tomatoes would likely be found with a classification number that starts with 635 (which covers garden crops and horticulture).
Within a library using the Dewey Decimal Classification (DDC) system, books about sports would be found in the 790s. For example, a book about soccer would probably be found in 796, a book on swimming would probably be found in 797, and a book on fishing would probably be found in 799.
