I don't think there is such a thing as "too many tote bags" :)<br /><br />Jenners -- well, yes...I do tend to use my library to the extreme, and my close to OCD tendencies require me to have a system :)<br /><br />Maria - I absolutely LOVE to write in my books (although several bibliophiles shudder at that statement. It is difficult for me to review a book from the library for that reason. That is why I decided to use an index card as a bookmark. If I am tempted to "mark" the book - I write on the index card. Not ideal, but it works within my budget :)Mollyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08414201637917215413noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7736127069847988207.post-44280186145400880732010-01-26T08:03:24.390-06:002010-01-26T08:03:24.390-06:00I don't know why but I always prefer to own a ...I don't know why but I always prefer to own a book. While reading a borrowed book - very rarely it happens to me - it is like a guest you barely know but must live among the family... never one of the family... Can you understand me? <br />I have to draw lines and little signs like hearts or stars or arrows as well as take notes or write comments( I know some of you may be shocked but I do all of that especially if I like it!)while reading a book and if it is not mine...Maria Graziahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08876779286144473782noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7736127069847988207.post-23470381954816562352010-01-25T18:43:18.508-06:002010-01-25T18:43:18.508-06:00You are always getting so many books from the libr...You are always getting so many books from the library ... so I'm not surprised you have a system.Jennershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08044537551139633301noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7736127069847988207.post-65167835047567930252010-01-25T18:34:52.340-06:002010-01-25T18:34:52.340-06:00I am participating in my library's winter read...I am participating in my library's winter reading program to earn a large tote with the library logo for this very reason!Nise' https://www.blogger.com/profile/15586400022454009379noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7736127069847988207.post-49182625000373760442010-01-25T17:56:02.948-06:002010-01-25T17:56:02.948-06:00Cheryl, Fleur, Gautami, Marie - yes, I do tend to ...Cheryl, Fleur, Gautami, Marie - yes, I do tend to be a rather organized, routinized person. Some might think this is a good trait - others might categorize me a OCD :)<br /><br />Vivienne - FlyLady is great! I don't necessarily need her reminder notices anymore, but she has some amazing ideas to help declutter and feel organized with very little time or effort!<br /><br />Kaye - great system! And I must say that my library is conveniently located just down the street from my local grocery store, super Walmart - and on the way to Half Priced Books and Borders. Needless to say, I stop by and visit often :)<br /><br />Caite - you are too funny! <br /><br />Laurel-Rain Snow - well, I don't say I don't stack .... I just stack books on my shelf in the nook and then eventually they find their way into the bag.<br /><br />Kathy - if money were not object - would buy all of my books and gratefully support the independent bookstores and authors across the U.S. Fortunately my local library is fairly good and since finances are not so good, it is a great alternative :)<br /><br />Kim - oh my goodness! Card catalogs? I had completely forgotten that cumbersome method of searching for books. I do embrace some of the technological advancements of the past two decades :) And I agree - tote bags are da bomb!!Mollyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08414201637917215413noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7736127069847988207.post-77853707948917070002010-01-25T16:44:35.586-06:002010-01-25T16:44:35.586-06:00You sound nice and organized!

I can hardly remember what it was like before we had internet and could access the library from home. I used the library A LOT back then as I was home-schooling my 4 kids. I was even trying to remember those days when we had to use an old fashioned card catalouge.<br />*smiles*<br />Kim Kimhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13029664492284742183noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7736127069847988207.post-31802157506364136002010-01-25T12:53:04.323-06:002010-01-25T12:53:04.323-06:00I rarely borrow books these days - from the librar...I rarely borrow books these days - from the library or friends - so this isn't an issue for me.
