Armchair Neat Freak : Library

Yep. We are at it again. We’ve Bedroomed. We’ve Living Roomed. We’ve Kitchened.  Today we are going to Library, by special request of JustB reader, Tania.  I love a Library. I have lots of books in my house, but dedicated reader that I am, I don’t have a dedicated Library. I just schlep down to the public library when I need to immerse myself in a corridor of books.

Do you love a Library too?  Even a public library?  Gosh. I love the sound of them.  I love the smell of them.  I love the LOOK of them, books full of possibilities lined up, row by row.

JustBs, I give you The Armchair Neat Freak, in the library.  Breathe in the books, my dears!  Which ones are your faves?  Do you like your library messy or neat? Do you like your books colour coded or schmozzley?  Do you like a bright room to read in, or a cosy dim one?

    I love the ‘Scholar’s Library’ (the one in the woods) but totally don’t get the ones that have the book arranged by colour!! Ours are arranged by genre (poetry, dictionaries, natural history etc).

      Oh I agree re colour coding, Julie! I did that once and it HURT MY BRAIN! Genre is a much more practical idea!! (Mine are now NOT colour coded!!!) xx

      Gosh. I LOVE the library. How amazing that we get to use the library for free! What a great thing that is!! x

    I am a colour coder. I am a purely visual person, not a practical one!

    • http://www.meetmeatmikes.com Pip Lincolne

      Go Annie! I am so blinded by the colours, when I colour code, that I can not concentrate on finding the book I need! I just see a sea of colour! But when they are not colour coded, my eyes seem to go STRAIGHT to the title I want! So I am visual too, but in a different way! How cool is that?!

  • Emma

    I am thinking of doing the colour coded books, I do love a spectrum, and it may help me to get further acquainted with my books. At the moment they are arranged by genre, but it looks like such a mess!

      Oh gosh Em! You should TOTALLY do it! You would LOVE it. I KNOW you would. Show me the photos, when you do!

    I wish I was a librarian. I love libraries THAT much!! I dream of having a room that has all walls covered with book shelves….it’ll happen, I’ll make sure of it :)

      Make sure you stack them the right way, lest the Library Police come and fine you for non outward spines!!!! x

    In forrn six my friend jenny and I rearranged a section of the school library by colour and it looked amazing. Got caught. Had to scrub 200 placemats in the boarders dining room. We sang songs the whole time to act like we didnt care (it was gross).

      I think this is the best story I have heard THIS YEAR, Kateling! OH MY GOSH! How excellent of you both! What naughty fabulous girls!!!! Thanks for telling us about it! xx

  • Denise from Magnolia Verandah

    Love libraries and bookshops! My ideal job would be to own a book shop. My house houses loads of books – they are a bit messy but I prefer them in genre so that I know in what general direction to look when I want something. I hate it when my husband rearranges things it does my brain in.

    I couldn’t love this more. I think I just had an orgasm.
