1. Loosely by genre.
2. We have shelves in the living room, all bedrooms, and the library room.
3. I buy few books these days. If I do they are usually used. Hardback and paperbacks. I very rarely ever buy ebooks. I have great libraries on my Overdrive and Libby.

A virtual tour of my library 🥰🥰🥰 https://360.northmanvr.com/F1utgPQ3E0/12212360p&10.15h&97.54t

Taking a moment to enjoy our #LitsyFamily ☺️🤗! I‘m manning our back entrance guiding patrons tonight since our main entrance has been closed for renovations for a few days. Working upstairs, I didn‘t realize how many folks come through our doors 😱! Every ten seconds or so, at least someone comes in. Maybe I‘ll be a greeter somewhere when I‘m 100 and still want to work 😆. A lot of patrons didn‘t realize we have a garden!

Oh! to have a home library filled with such biblio-treasures!!! 🤗

Someday...someday.

It‘s said that the heart of a home is the kitchen. Well, I‘m going to make the brain, complete with a second heart, of my home a helluva lot bigger. 😎

LiteraryinPA I agree! I was just thinking today about how it‘s time to start thinking about buying another bookshelf... 6y

From the four corners of my library. I finally put up the new bookcase I got like 2 months ago. I actually have space on my shelves again! But, my library had to grow and now extends to the hallway closet and guest bedroom which will be in my next post. And yes, those are all my Bookish pillowcases and blankets to the lower right. I have a lot 😅 It makes for a great floor reading position, though

Chelsey Oh my goodness! That‘s beautiful! I‘m moving this week and had to box up all of my books for transfer. I can‘t imagine what a task that would be with a collection like yours! 6y
BooksTeasAndBookishThings @Chelsey we are military so we had to PCS almost two years ago and the Army has a weight limit. My books put us over that limit (10,000 lbs) by 900 lbs. we had to pay that difference lol I have accumulated more since then and that was with me putting my heavy ones in my trunk. I have them organized by genre and author‘s last name, so boxing and labeling is a must, but even then it is the cost of moving them that is crazy! (edited) 6y

A day after posting a photo of this library on Litsy, a faulty sprinkler ruined most of the adult collection. This is the best of the 5 libraries I frequent. I always found the newest books and movies there. It will be many weeks before it‘s up and running again. The library staff are shell shocked and the community members feel sad and helpless. Hug your library staff today, my friends.

Suet624 @AmyG nope. Not better. They are having trouble figuring out what‘s going on. I‘ll find that book. Thanks for the recommendation. 6y
Amiable I thought I recognized it! My son went to Norwich Univ. and my mother-in-law used to live up in North Troy near Jay Peak, and when we would go up to visit him we would all meet in Stowe for lunch. Usually we went in the fall, though--no snow. So that threw me off! 😉 6y

#Words are powerful. A well crafted sentence can slay any dragon. My in-progress personal library contains millions of words that can take me on any adventure or can help teach a valuable lesson. I am grateful for a mother who instilled the love of reading into me at a very young age and for a father who shared with me the value of reading history, understanding how past events affect today‘s events and learning from mistakes. #gratitude30

Our new DT Library finally opens today! This is kind of a big deal here. The new library made Architectural Digest's top 12 most anticipated buildings of 2018 & it looks stunning. I'm waiting to see it for myself, to avoid the crowds, but I'm stoked!! (Honestly I don't actually ever go to the library, but that's about to change!)

I have been planning a theme day about sexual abuse in childhood for six months, and today was the day of the event, which was held at the public library in Aarhus. Now I‘m all tired out and taking a few moments between the books before I have to go kid-sit my bf‘s nephews. Busy, but exciting day!

It means new furniture, new shelving, new computers, and updated technology. This also means validation for our small but mighty team, that all the work we‘ve put in the last few months has not gone unnoticed. #gous #librariesrock #randolphafblibrary

I have been working at my local library for 4 months. When I started, it was a drab, unwelcoming space. The walls were a hodgepodge of peach, beige, and a color from the 70s known as academic gold. 🤢 Our furniture was just as ugly and unwelcoming. My coworkers and I have busted our a***s the last six weeks to transform our library. We still have ugly furniture (baby steps) but at least our walls are painted and we have beautiful new rugs. 💙
