How do you organize your shelves? (lemmy.world)

My resolution this year is to organize my library. Most of my collection is nonfiction, so I’ve started working on putting everything in order by Library of Congress style. The number of books is probably in the low thousands - I think another mission might be to catalog them while I’m at it.

Any tips or suggestions? If you have a larger collection, how do you organize and catalog your books?

Depends on how you read, if your reading decision is based on language as well as genre, then separating them by language is a good idea, otherwise you can just mix them up.
