I love walking up and down the library stacks looking at the titles, but then I end up with a crick in my neck from having it tilted to the right so much. LOL

I have always loved a library where the books were chock-a-block crammed together and on shelves floor to ceiling, but I do know from working in libraries that today library shelves are supposed to be neat with lots of leftover space, empty shelf space, etc. and that librarians have "weeding" guidelines for how and when to weed out a book/books that haven't circulated very much. I really don't like that, but I guess I'm in the minority.
