Hale discusses her personal library. She states that when she thinks of her personal library, it is kind of all over the house. Her favorite reading spot is by her lamp made from books (yes, it ...works) and it is the coolest thing that she has bought from a thrift store. She comments that her love for reading started as a young child. Being the youngest, she was always reading. She would go to the bookmobile (this is a vehicle that came to the neighborhood with books for checkout). Having an opportunity to check books out in her neighborhood gave her no excuse not to read. She was always so excited on the days when the bookmobile was coming. She grew up in a small town with limited resources, so the bookmobile gave her something to look forward to.
O artigo trata sobre o aspecto memorial da bibliografia filatélica brasileira. A pesquisa teve como objetivo analisar o Catálogo de Selos Postais do Brasil editado por Rolf Harald Meyer. O ...procedimento da pesquisa foi bibliográfico e documental. Os catálogos foram acessados numa biblioteca privada de um bibliofilatelista em Recife. A literatura científica foi acessada por meio da BRAPCI, da BDTD Capes e da SciELO. O levantamento resultou numa amostra de 31 edições do Catálogo produzidas entre 1975 e 2019. Essa amostra foi agrupada em 3 recortes temporais distintos: 1975 a 1986, 1987 a 1999 e 2000 a 2019 e os dados tabulados em Excel. Identificaram-se aspectos históricos e editoriais, dados sobre diagramação, impressão, constituição física e arquitetura das informações. Concluiu-se que o Catálogo tem sua marca consolidada no Brasil e no exterior. Representa o trabalho simbólico de saberes colaborativos entre colecionadores e comerciantes filatélicos. Propõe-se para futuros estudos que o Catálogo extrapola os estudos gráficos e de organização da informação e cabe no campo da transferência cultural de saberes transatlânticos e na história do livro. Ratifica o selo postal e seu regime de informação como objeto de pesquisa em diversas e distintas áreas.
Glover talks about her own home library. She admits that she is a somewhat disorganized home librarian, so their collection initially started as just one big pile, organized by author's last name. ...With time, however, they have had the need to create a few dedicated bookshelves/categories. She loves books not only because she loves literature but also because books can hold memories. Her mom always put thoughtful notes in books that she gave as gifts, a ritual she continues to this day.
Sarwark, a librarian, shares a peek inside his personal library. He took a course at the iSchool at the University of Illinois - during its final years of being called GSLIS - with Professor Emily ...Knox, an avid scholar of book banning and censorship. He discovered that the Index of Forbidden Books and its official mechanisms were in full force from 1564 all the way until 1966, when both of his parents were almost teenagers. He has found that one of the best ways to do so, when funding permits, is to build his own "damned" library. This has led to the establishment of a special and separate section of his private collection at home. While he slowly acquire actual banned titles in their original or otherwise published-under-ban editions, his small but growing guest room library mainly includes previous works not listed on, but rather about the Index.
Michaels talks about his own private library. For many years, his private library existed in a fragmented state. While much of the shelf space in his childhood bedroom was occupied by books (The ...Hardy Boys, The Lord of the Rings, The Way Things Work, the Funk & Wagnalls New Encyclopedia that my father brought home from the grocery store two volumes at a time), there was ample room left for his boombox, cassette tapes, a few comic books (before they required their own boxes to be stored elsewhere), trophies, and various odds and ends. The organization schema of his reunited media collection is roughly grouped across fiction/nonfiction and genre. Nonfiction groups include memoirs, primarily by or about comedians and musicians--his current favorite among them being Will Not Attend by Adam Resnick.

Barker takes a look inside her personal library. Perhaps the most exciting thing about setting up her own personal library was the freedom to define categories as she chose. She ended up settling on ...an unusual array of collections, separating science fiction from fantasy, and Star Wars from both. Her library is a work-in-progress and always will be. The current titles (numbering 2,907) reflect the reading habits and interests of three different people and include many works she will never read.
This volume examines a number of different book lists from a variety of European countries during the fifteenth, sixteenth and seventeenth centuries. It offers a wide-ranging re-evaluation of one of ...the most interesting and underused resources for early modern book history.

Clay provides information on her personal library. Her personal library comprises about 200 titles including poetry, massage therapy, religion, race relations, Jim Crow, and African American history. ...She has loved poetry since middle school when she had a sixth-grade teacher who introduced me to the works of Langston Hughes. Later, she had an eighth-grade teacher, a WWII vet in his fifties, who was passionate about poetry. She has a small collection of anatomy and massage books since she spent almost twenty years doing massage and neuromuscular therapy. Her religion corner is mostly books by Thich Nhat Hanh, the Vietnamese Buddhist monk. She has recently given away a large part of her other religion titles, leaving her with mostly the Thich Nhat Hanh writings, which, apparently, inspire her more than did the others.
