Tips for managing a small library: stamp your artwork

Owning a small library of your own is like owning a treasure house of knowledge. In order to prevent your books from being confused with other people’s books, it is very necessary to leave your unique mark on the books. Paper embossing stamp is a good choice for you, customize your personal pattern to make this treasure house, your small library, orderly and full of charm. Here’s how to manage your own small library.

First of all, the classification of books is the key. We can classify according to different standards, such as distinguishing literature, history, science, philosophy and other categories according to subject areas. Literature can be further divided into novels, poems, dramas, etc. In this way, when we want to find a specific type of book, we can quickly locate it. On the bookshelf, you can put clear labels, such as “Literature – Fiction” and “History – World History”. It can also be divided according to the audience of the book, and adult books and children’s books are placed in different areas for different readers to use.

Arranging the bookshelf is also an important part. The bookshelf should be kept neat and the books should not be crooked. You can take all the books off the bookshelf regularly, wipe the bookshelf and then put them back. For popular books that are frequently used, they can be placed on the middle bookshelf for easy access. Some hardcover books that are not often read but have collection value can be placed on the high bookshelf for proper storage. For those series of books, they should be arranged in order, such as the “Harry Potter” series, from the first to the seventh, which is not only beautiful, but also easy to read and collect.

The environmental maintenance of the small library cannot be ignored. Keep the room clean and hygienic, clean the dust regularly, and avoid damage to the books due to excessive dust. At the same time, pay attention to controlling the humidity and temperature in the room. An overly humid environment may cause the books to mold, and too dry may make the paper brittle. You can use a dehumidifier or humidifier to adjust the environment. In addition, the lighting of the library is also very important. It is necessary to ensure that the light is sufficient and soft, avoid direct strong light from damaging the books, and at the same time facilitate readers to read.

Establishing a book borrowing record is an effective means to manage a small library. If a friend or family member borrows books from the library, prepare a notebook to record the borrower’s name, borrowing date, book title, and expected return date. You can also leave your own seal on the book, use a custom paper embosser to press your pattern, so that the borrower knows that the book belongs to you, which can prevent the loss of books and clearly grasp the flow of each book. When the borrower returns the book, check whether the book is damaged, and if so, repair it in time.

You can also take inventory of the books in the small library regularly. Every once in a while, check the number and type of books to see if any are lost or misplaced. During the inventory process, you can also re-examine your own collection of books. For those books that are no longer valuable or duplicated, you can consider donating, selling or disposing of them to make room for new books.

To make the small library more atmospheric, you can put some green plants in it. Green plants can not only purify the air, but also add vitality to the library. Choose some plants that do not require high light and humidity, such as green radish and spider plants. In addition, some calligraphy and paintings related to books and reading can be hung on the walls of the library to create a strong cultural atmosphere.

Managing your own small library is a fun job. Using embossing stamps can bring us closer to books, making the treasure house of knowledge always shining and becoming a warm harbor for our souls to rest and explore. Through careful care, this small space will carry endless wisdom and a wonderful reading experience.
