Dewey

Um, how long do you suppose it would take to assign Dewey decimal numbers to all my nonfiction books, make stickers for the spines, then arrange the books accordingly?
I have 164, last count. I worry the fictions will feel left out, but they can just go alphabetical by author.

I feel that in the short term this might be (dare i say it?!?!) a waste of time, but I feel that ultimately it will be character building and gloriously efficient later.

Mom: "Oh no, I can't believe you're remodelling the library! My daughter will feel like a part of her childhood has been destroyed!"
Circulation Desk Lady: "Uh, ma'am, not many people spend quite as much at the library as your daughter."
