I think you can learn a lot about a person from seeing what books they read, which ones they choose to keep, and how they organize their personal library. This month, I’ve asked professional organizers to share their own strategies for organizing home libraries. Visit their blogs to find out what they said, leave a comment or two, and share your favorite posts with your social networks. Then, be sure to read through to the end of this post for a special invitation!

For the first time in many months, we have no new participants or new Professional Organizers Blog Carnival Star Bloggers to introduce, so without further ado, here are this month’s submissions!

Audrey Cupo – Take A Look At Your Books – Are They Organized?

Barbara Tako – Organize your books! A home library? Yes!

Jeri Dansky – Books: Weeding the Collection

Janice Russell – So Many Books, So Little Time!

Julie Bestry – Book ‘em, Danno! Organizing Your Beloved Books

Ellen Delap – Organizing Your Library

Tracy Hoth – Tracy’s Tip ~ When Organizing Books…Think Outside the Book

Rivka Caroline – It’s What You Do After You Buy The Book That Counts

Jane Veldhoven – Are Your Books Excess Clutter or Beautiful Possessions?

Natalie Conrad – Books – Organizing Our Personal Libraries

I’m a book lover myself (you can connect with me on Goodreads if you like) so I thoroughly enjoyed reading all the different ideas. I was surprised and maybe even a little disappointed that hardly anyone included a photo in their post, so I created a photo album on Facebook called Organizing Home Libraries, and I’m inviting you to upload your pictures there – whether or not you participated in the Blog Carnival.

Once you’ve done that, you can start thinking about next month’s Professional Organizers Blog Carnival, when our topic will be Organizing Tips for Creative Types. Submissions will be accepted from now until midnight Eastern time on Monday, October 10th.
