How to arrange books in a home library?
I have a passion for books, and I have hundreds of books on all sorts of subjects. Science, arts, management, cooking, interior design, history, religion, textbooks – everything. I’ve now decided to make a personal library, which needs help.
Is there any system to arrange books in a home library? Don’t need something too complicated like a proper catalog system. Any references, tips, ideas? I’d particularly appreciate standard system used by readers and home library owners. But share your own system too, if you got one.
Thanks.
The exact thing that I am looking for is a classification system for a home library. Like the Dewey Decimal classification system – but on a micro scale. I think many of us could use the answers! 
A good variety of answers we have! I decided to search the net, and this link has plenty of info: http://librarianinblack.typepad.com/librarianinblack/2006/02/lc_or_dewey_for.html
Still exploring.
I’m a librarian, so I tend to lump things together by subject first (similar to the Dewey Decimal system). I think that if you create a genre scheme, and then alphabetize by author your collection will be well organized and be easy to navigate. You might also want to read At Home with Books by Estelle Ellis, et. al. It gives excellent tips about how to organize your collection and provides photos. Below is a link to information from Amazon
