Evergreen tree 6

Eight candles for eight nights,
To mark the Festival of Lights,
To read all about it, where should you look?
This number will guide you to the books.

10 Dilara86 : #6: You want to find the MDS classification page, and navigate from "2 - Religion" to "Other Religions", and down to the name of the festival.

It didn't help that I was chasing the wrong religion.

This helped me. I had the religion, just wasn't sure what number I was looking for!

I’m still struggling with this one, navigating dns is hard! I’m used to Dewey here!

Edit to add:
It is Dewey after all (Melvins the first name) and I was entering via a roundabout route. Messed around a bunch and apparently got the tree though I’ve no idea what for!

>2 humouress: I'm there, do I click on 2- Religion or Other religions, I'm so confused. We're looking for Diwali, right?

I work in a library, I know the Dewey Decimal System, I know that numbers, I know where to find it in the library, but I don't see the number to click on, ugh

>7 ChaffinsMom:
You are looking for a different religion. It is also called the Feast of Dedication, or Festival of Lights.

I'm still stuck on this one, and it's the last I need. Any more help, please?
