What an interesting question! Well, for me, anyways ... and I've found some - I visited the websites for the public libraries of various cities and searched their online catalogs to see what kinds of call numbers showed up. I found books classed according to the LC classification at: The Enoch Pratt Free Library (Baltimore) prattlibrary.org/ The Boston Public Library bpl.org/catalogs/index.htm (some branch libraries seem to use Dewey, though) The Chicago Public Library chipublib.org/search/catalog/ The Hennepin County Library (Minneapolis) http://mplwebcat.mplib.org/search uses both Dewey and LC But there were many others I looked at that seem to use Dewey exclusively, including the public libraries of Denver, Atlanta, San Francisco, Columbus OH, New York City, Austin TX, Phoenix, District of Columbia, Seattle, Jacksonville FL.So there are some public libraries out there using the Library of Congress classification, apparently, though clearly not as many as use Dewey.

I did find an article in the Wall Street Journal about libraries using a newer system based on bookstores that gave this statistic:"Some 95% of U.S. public libraries use Dewey, and nearly all of the others, the OCLC owners of Dewey says, use a closely related Library of Congress system.
