Book Organization

Image
I've told you how I made my book shelves now lets talk about organization.  Like I said in the last post I am a librarian.  I have a book scanner to scan my books into a catalog to track my books.  The catalog is organized so that I don't accidentally buy two copies of the same book.  Let's just say I am a bit obsessed with my books.  There is no way my books are organized by color or size.  Ok mine are sorta by size but for a reason. One of the problems I was running into was when I would go to put away the new books it would take time to figure out where the new ones would go.  Books would get shelved out of order because there was just one small book with that authors in Q and I missed it.

Book Storage

Not all of my craft projects are small. In my professional life I am a librarian.  I love all things books.  Book theme everything.  I have a massive book collection between audio, digital, and physical books.  Books are what I buy besides my crafting supplies.  Book cases are expensive particularly when you need 8 not standard size ones.  Yes that is just for me. My living space has been taken over by book cases and I am good with that.   This is just one of them.  It fits my hardcover and trade paperback books.   Here it is full of books.  I have a second bookcase that is also the same dimensions.  I just took 1 x 8 x 6 boards painted them the color I wanted.  To prevent paint transfer to my pretty books I also use polyurethane to seal in the paint.  I went with a less shiny polyurethane because I'm not a fan of shiny but if you are interested in it go for it.  Once they were all dried I took 2 inch screws and screwed in the boards.  The 2 inch screws to help support the books.

 My sisters asked me to do videos on how to knit so that's what I've been working on.  Lots and lots of knitting.  I've learned some new techniques as well as gotten over my fear of multi colored projects.  I'm going to start sharing stitches that I've worked up.  To start with this is the Chevron stitch.
