    Question How many books shelves do you have in your home?

    We have a bookshelf in every room and they are filled with books. I've always wanted a home library - maybe someday.

    Right now all I have is 1 small one. Before we moved I use to have 2 bookcases on either side of our living room window with a bench inbetween and had another set in my sewing room. Plus I had 5 others besides those. We had to sell them when we moved. I miss my books as they are mostly still packed up.

    In our family room, both sides of the fireplace have built in book shelves.

    Not enough. I have boxes and boxes of books that I am not yet ready to part with that don't have a home.

    I only had one small two shelf bookcase until last night! It was trash night and my kids and I always go out looking. We found one 5 shelf wicker bookshelf. perfect condition. Then a little farther down I got a secretary and 4 shelf wooden bookcase!  It was worth walking around in the blowing snow!

    We have two that are 7ft tall and 3ft wide. One that is 6ft wide and 3ft tall, and one that is 4.5ft tall and 3.5ft wide. Five total. And still not enough, because we got rid of the two that were upstairs for the kids' books & haven't replaced them yet. Their books are in plastic rubbermaid tubs for now.
