“Books are the best friends of mankind” – This proverb has been ingrained in our minds since childhood. Books are an endless treasure of knowledge, the key to opening the doors of the world. And to fully enjoy the values that books bring, arranging a bookshelf scientifically and logically is extremely necessary.
The Importance of Scientific Bookshelf Organization
Have you ever felt frustrated searching for a book in a messy pile? Or wanted to read a book but forgotten where it was placed? Disorder in the bookshelf not only makes searching difficult but also affects your mood, making you feel stuck and reluctant to continue reading.
According to education expert Nguyen Van A in the book “Effective Thinking,” “A scientific and tidy study space will help us concentrate more, and learning efficiency will be improved.” Organizing a bookshelf scientifically not only helps you easily find books but also creates an ideal study space, inspiring you every time you approach the world of knowledge.
Scientific Bookshelf Organization Methods
1. Organize by Book Genre
This is the most common and simplest method. You can divide your bookshelf into separate areas for each genre such as literature, science, history, economics, etc. This method helps you easily find books according to your reading needs.
For example, if you want to find a romantic novel, you just need to go to the literature section. Or if you want to research Vietnamese history, you will look for books in the history section.
2. Organize by Color
Arranging books by color not only creates aesthetics for the bookshelf but also brings a cheerful and pleasant feeling. You can combine colors according to your preferences or based on the principle of color contrast to create highlights for the bookshelf.
For example, you can arrange green, blue, and purple books in the same area to create a relaxing space. Or you can place red, orange, and yellow books in a prominent area to attract attention.
3. Organize by Size
Organizing books by size helps you maximize bookshelf space and create harmony for the space. You can place large books at the bottom and small books at the top.
For example, you can place encyclopedias and textbooks at the bottom, and thin books and pocketbooks at the top.
4. Organize by Author
Organizing books by author is suitable for those who love a particular author. You can gather all the works of that author in one area for easy searching and enjoyment.
For example, if you are a fan of writer Nguyen Nhat Anh, you can gather all of his works in a separate area.
5. Organize by Publication Year
Organizing books by publication year is suitable for those who collect old books or want to track the development of a certain topic. You can place books published earlier at the bottom and books published later at the top.
For example, if you want to track the development of science and technology, you can arrange books on this topic by publication year.
Helpful Tips for Scientific Bookshelf Organization
- Use accessories such as bookshelves, book boxes, labels to classify and manage books effectively.
- Get rid of old books that are no longer relevant to your reading needs to create more space for the bookshelf.
- Develop a habit of rearranging the bookshelf periodically to ensure neatness and science.
