Preparing For a Busy Fall By Organizing Now

Hi Again,

Perhaps you can feel it. Perhaps you can see it all around you? Maybe - maybe just maybe you've got stuff organized. Or not.

With that somewhat dramatic building out of the way I will promptly get to the topic of todays' post: House Organizing.

Why would I generate a post about home organization? Well, as a librarian I know the importance of finding things - whether these 'things' are online or in physical appearance (think books, cd's or dvd's). Imagine if the library collection of dvd's and books was organized by color for example. That would make it very difficult to find the latest James Patterson book or the latest Leonardo DiCaprio movie - unless of course you knew the color of the packaging...

Imagine how fast you could find the things you need if your house was organized? Finding pots, pans, suitcases, old tools or old clothing that you might want to donate to goodwill or other things that you need right now - wouldn't that make your busy life a bit easier?

Forthwith a list of books that the library owns to help you on your way to a more organized tomorrow.

Clutter Cure: Culbertson

Organizing From the Inside Out: The Foolproof System For Organizing Your Home, Your Office and Your Life: Morgenstern

Storage Made Easy: Great Ideas For Organizing Every Room in Your Home: Manroe

Note that if you click on any of these titles, you will go to the Farmingdale library card catalog. You will then be able to find out if the book is on the shelf or if the book has been taken out by another patron.

Also remember that the library has other books and materials on home organization and decluttering your life in general.

If you have question, call the reference desk at 249-9090.

That's all for now.
