Questions: Do you have books around, or do you think of yourself as having a personal library? What does a “collection “ or “personal library “ mean to you? What is your personal library for? Where is your personal library? Contained to a single room or spread out all about the house? How many books make up your personal library? How do you organize your personal library? Do you keep track of your personal library? If so, how? How do you decide to add a book to your personal library? When it’s time to cull your personal library, how do you decide what stays and what goes? Does your personal library have books you haven’t read? May not read?
