58th Library Week

Organizing Bookshelves

31 March 2022 / 19:30 - 20:30

How does one keep a functional and tidy bookshelf? Books can be sorted according to size, publisher, or author. But are these methods enough to keep everything organized? Or do the books end up in stacked piles around the room once we can no longer deal with how to get everything organized? 

In partnership with Pera Learning, the Istanbul Research Institute presents a bookshelf organizing workshop on occasion of the 58th Library Week. In this workshop, we talk about the labels seen on library books and what they indicate, and learn about the general history of the concept of library. After learning more about libraries and book categorization, we make our bookshelves more practical and colorful.
