<![CDATA[books arrangement]]>:?: :?: :?:



i have so many kids books that i have absolutely no idea how to arrange them properly. tried arranging according to subject, size etc, but always searching for that one book we want at that very moment.

come in different shapes and sizes, hard cover, paperback, thin and thick, some with popped out pictures, fiction, non fiction. you name it, we have it...... :faint:

Many a times I observed that the kids will just read and put the books back on the shelf. My maid do like wise and overtime, it just become very messy and you don’t even know what you have.


We went to Ikea to get the billy bookshelf. From 1 existing bookshelf, i packed the books into 2 shelfs. I did it by language, topic, age related.

Eg. CL and EL books for my P1 are put separately and in the shelf that we can reach easily.

Meanwhile for my P4 and P5, their books are mainly segregated into EL, CL, science (eg. young scientists mags), reference books, hard covers, etc…

Well… I am alot happier and in the midst found alot of books they missed out was it was in the pile…

Ocos books by the same authors or belonging to the same series sit together.

Their favourite books/magazines are in the bedrooms, arranged the above way.
New books, KIV books, reference books and craft books are in common area, arranged in the same way.

Library books take a separate shelf.

Books they are not ready for or we do not like, are kept in a storage box and stored away. Books that used to be favourites but falling out of favour are also rotated out.

Outgrown books are donated regularly.

I agree with you, thanks!

So cute. And so nice of you to let him do it. It will be a lovely story to tell your grandchildren in future.

the problem with book arrangement is the need to regularly put away books in the same order. So if you and the kids are regular, the main hurdle is the setup.

But since I am one of those - once in a way burst of enery to clean up kind, I have put DD books in one shelf and DS in another. Library books in a more accessible folder. As long as the books are put away in any order within their shelves , its ok.

The logic is the kids are willing to search a book they want, than spend time putting it away in a specific order. As long as it is withing their shelves , we can find it.

Of course the problem is my helper , who cant seem to stand books lying around quickly stuffs them into any of the book shelves and we go around in circles to find those.. 🤷

Atleast once a year taking out the books they have out grown helps a lot...
