Where's a librarian when we needed one?


When we moved into our house 7 months ago, we haphazardly put books onto bookshelves in no particular order. Life is settling down some after the wedding and trip to Ireland. We've both been bothered by not being able to find books as they were scattered between 4 different rooms and fiction and non-fiction were mingling in too close a fashion.

This all changed yesterday. Here's a picture of the library admist the chaos. (Yes, the Mariner's are on in the background.)

Fiction is now with fiction (sci-fi is not segregated -- this was a "heated" debate) and non-fiction with non-fiction. Trying to figure out how to separate the non-fiction certainly was a challenge. Is it spirituality or philosphy or psychology or science??

Our world is now ordered ... at least for the moment.

Love it! How people arrange their shelves is a really personal thing. My shelves have a personal classification based mostly by life phases: pre-, during, and post-college; most non-fiction is post college. Only YA/kids is separated on it's own low shelf due to varying sizes and to make it accessible to shorter nieces when they visit. :)
