Call numbers on library books/scores group them by topic or genre. Most books dealing with music have call numbers starting with M. Lettered areas are further subdivided by additional letters and/or numbers (see examples below). You can use this information to browse library shelves.

In general:

M = scores/printed music

ML = books about music

MT = music theory, instruction & study
