They don’t need to be fancy—they just need to get the job done. If possible, try to find storage solutions that match or compliment one another in terms of size and style so that your finished library will have a neat, uniform appearance.  Hunt for matching sets of bookshelves and cases at antique stores and consignment shops. You can often find brand-new bookcases at home goods stores for $50-100 apiece. Buying new is a helpful option if you have a little more money to spend, since newer units look better and tend to be more durable. For instance, you might start by sorting your collection into broad categories, such as fiction, non-fiction, and reference or textbooks. From there, you can divide them up into more specific genres, like “sci-fi/fantasy,” “biography,” or “true crime.” Once you have your books grouped appropriately, arrange them on each shelf in alphabetical order by author.  If your goal is to run a library with a big inventory, you’ll probably want to keep a shelf list, or a detailed record of how your books are classified and where to locate them on the shelves. Municipal public libraries rely on a complex method of organization known as the Dewey Decimal System to sort their books, but this is really only necessary if you have many hundreds or thousands of books. Print your own customizable library cards to give out to anyone who wants to sign up as a member. Be sure to get each new member’s full name, address, and phone number or email when they sign up. For most small libraries, the checkout process will then be as easy as making a note of who has what and when it’s due back.  Set a cap for the number of books that members can check out at one time, along with minor late fees for titles that aren’t back by their agreed-upon return date. Apps like iBookshelf, My Library, and Book Crawler may also be useful for managing large catalogs and mountains of member records. Use the remaining space in your library to stock materials like audiobooks, DVDs, magazines, newspapers, and similar periodicals. If you really want to go above and beyond, you might even furnish one or more computers and a WiFi connection for those who come to study or don’t have internet access at home.  You may need a license in order to legally distribute certain types of digital content. Check your local business laws for more information.  Make sure that the supplementary materials you stock are educational or informative in some way. You don’t want your library to turn into a glorified video store.
