I am confused. I am also sad because I have been wanting to organise my books for about 15 years now. I finally have a library (/spare room) so can do so! But I am waiting for shelves to appear, as at the moment books are double thingied so I can't see them all. And Ihave got rid of about 150 books recently to make space. I used to have complicated systems based on author, subject and nice pretty colours on spines. Now everything is haphazard.
I once failed to get a job in a library because I could not shelve books in order. These days you have to have a postgraduate degree in librariness to work in a library, and the libraries are being closed down anyway.
Yeah, it is incredibly hard to find a library job. My mom works in a library. I very much wanted a page job as a teenager, but the library had rules against hiring family members of an employee. Accordingly, I don't know how to shelve at all.
