Somewhere I read that a person can keep the locations of 10,000 volume personal library in his/her head.<br /><br />I often can tell someone just where to find something, when I was in Singapore, I managed to describe a book and it's location clearly enough for my oldest to find it so he could look up a quote I needed to finish a column!<br /><br />And Wayne, why didn't I think of that!! Maybe Margaret can start a consulting business for home libraries - help with deaccession and organization for those of us with packed shelves that can't resist buying still more books!<br /><br />And Sabrina, I know that place well in all sorts of projects!!Michellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12617476463347663364noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7565601.post-15521903758662345082010-12-14T18:25:44.994-05:002010-12-14T18:25:44.994-05:00sounds like a job for a certain unemployed librari...sounds like a job for a certain unemployed librarian, mosaic artist, and lovely wife I happen to know!Stratozhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10148600260976577216noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7565601.post-74496247917053935012010-12-13T13:06:48.271-05:002010-12-13T13:06:48.271-05:00Group books by size or COLOR???

A...Group books by size or COLOR??? <br /><br />LOLOLOLOL!!!!<br /><br />Actually, I do have some grouped by size/topic, because I have a very narrow little Pier One bookcase in my "desk" room and many of the smaller sized books about prayer and spiritual direction fit nicely thee.<br /><br />But nothing around here stays grouped for very long.Robinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01898073277524952683noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7565601.post-23517749226528243722010-12-12T16:36:42.169-05:002010-12-12T16:36:42.169-05:00I'm still in the middle of my book organizing ...I'm still in the middle of my book organizing project (stack of books all over the library floor - and really everywhere else as well). Personally, I always start with collections and multiples within thematic groupings but at some point it all goes to that hot and nasty place and I end up jamming books wherever they fit.Sabrina Vourvouliashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08260496687186444168noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7565601.post-77861456723915558172010-12-12T16:09:24.544-05:002010-12-12T16:09:24.544-05:00Yes, I suspect you're right about the author o...Yes, I suspect you're right about the author of the piece having a different view of the function of books. For some reason, I've always found the sight of a cluttered bookshelf quite inviting - all of my bookshelves are packed to the gills, and when I visit people and see that their bookshelves are like mine, it tends to leave a very positive impression ("Ah! They love books as much as I do!"). <br /><br />I suppose one key question to ask is whether books may be found when they are needed. I've been lucky in that I usually know exactly where to find a particular book when I need it, even if I couldn't tell someone else how to find it on the shelves or in the more-or-less neat piles in my room.Joseph Koczera, S.J.https://www.blogger.com/profile/08185534774059012251noreply@blogger.com
