Organize your book collection at home by following this tutorial.
You Will Need
- Book collection
- Organization skills
- Library classification methods
Step 1: Organize by genre
Organize your books by genre. Separate fiction and non-fiction works, then subdivide each of these categories. Non-fiction, for example, could be further broken down into reference, travel, and self-help.
Consider purchasing home-library software.
Step 2: Organize by library classification
Organize your books according to library classifications. The Dewey Decimal System organizes your books numerically and the Library of Congress system groups similar topics.
Step 3: Organize by function
Organize by the book’s function. Place your cookbooks near the kitchen, your reference books near your home office, and your fiction close to where you do your leisure reading.
Step 4: Organize by color
Organize your books according to the color on each book’s spine. This does wonders for a room’s visual appeal.
After the Library of Congress was destroyed in the War of 1812, the library acquired Thomas Jefferson’s personal library as a basis for rebuilding.

Hi there! I really like your clever videos. I'm working on an article about filmmakers in different film markets across the US (chicago being one of them), and I was wondering if you'd fill out a survey for me? I couldn't figure out how to get ahold of you other than sending you a comment! You can email me at (MyUsername) *at* gmail *dot* com if you're interested. Cheers, and can't wait to see your next video!
