Cynthia Rowley for Hooker Furniture Home Office Skyline Bookcase 1586-10446A-BLK3 is not your ordinary bookcase. It\u2019s both functional and fashionable.<\/p><\/div>\n

The U.S. President Thomas Jefferson once stated that he cannot live without books. Book collectors and bookworms all know this feeling. Having a library at home and owning various book collections may not be realistic for many. If you are one of the book lovers who wish to have a home library but do not have the budget for it, then you can always settle for a reading nook.<\/p>\n

Creating a small home library is not always about housing leather-bound books, installing wood paneling or investing in heavy furniture. There are no right or wrong ways in designing your own book haven. You just have to ask the correct questions from the onset such as \u2013<\/p>\n

How do I organize my books? <\/em><\/p>\n

How do I find shelves that would house my small collection? <\/em><\/p>\n

The creation of a home library can be a wonderful opportunity to express your personality. This can also be a fun way to display your interest in reading.<\/p>\n

First, Pick a Room <\/strong><\/p>\n
Reading inside a room with huge windows, with lots of natural light might sound like a wonderful idea to you but for the books, all that sunlight would do them more harm than good.<\/p>\n
Find a room that isn\u2019t too dark or too brightly-lit. Basements and attics come with heavy humidity which will attract insects and mold. Also, basements are more prone to flooding so it is best to keep your books out of such an area.<\/p>\n
Organize<\/strong><\/p>\n
Did you notice how, when you began using the public library, that there is a system of organization there? The orderly line of books is no less than the Dewey Decimal Classification System at work. This system offers 10 categories in organizing books such as arts, philosophy and religion. Every category is given a number assignment so if you want a book regarding Modern Art, you will just have to look for those with the 700+ numbers.<\/p>\n
Bigger libraries make use of the Library of Congress Classification System. This categorizes books in a more specific manner. Subjects are used as categories where law or medicine can have up to 21 categories at a given time.<\/p>\n
Your home library is, of course, not as large as the public library so you don\u2019t need to have an intricate system of classification. All you have to do is to categorize according to subject matter or even color! Aesthetic organization through the spine color is quite effective to some as they can find their favorite book according to their favorite colors.<\/p>\n
You can also highlight your specific passion such as photography or history.<\/p>\n
You can also categorize by alphabetizing the works of certain authors.<\/p>\n
Another way to organize your books is through prioritizing them according to the time when you would read them. You can do this by keeping the unread book at the forefront while the ones that you have already read take a backseat.<\/p>\n
As soon as you have organized your book collections, it\u2019s time to find the furniture that will hold them.<\/p>\n
Bookshelves and Cabinets <\/strong><\/p>\n
It might be difficult to spend your money other than your beloved books but it is also essential to buy a home for them. At some point, you will need to invest in a bookshelves or cabinets that will save you some space.<\/p>\n
Freestanding bookcases come in various colors, sizes and price. For some whose homes have limited space, there is always the option to install hanging bookshelves. As more and more books occupy your hanging bookshelves, you might eventually need a library ladder to reach your collections. A step ladder or stool would do but rolling ladders would add an elegant touch.<\/p>\n
