Instead of a misspent youth, I worked in a local municipal library throughout my undergrad degree. Yes, I was that girl. Locum for anyone on leave, off sick etc.
Dewey decimal system forever 💪 and let’s not even mention the extra books allowed on my library card as a staff member! Bonus!!
When the trend of organising bookshelves by colour as opposed to alphabetically took hold of everyone, I could simply not do it.
It went against all my literary standards and the thought hurt my heart. But one day, I did it. I did the colour thing and it looked beautiful, for about an hour …
Then it began bugging me. My Dean Koontz books were all over the place and let’s not even talk about the Patricia Cornwells. I know! Shocking!
It lasted less than a week. Now we are back to alphabetical, by author’s surname, as it should be. Sanity has prevailed and my little librarian heart is at peace once more.
