They also give the most important provision of arranging books according to your preferred order, such as by the author’s name, by titles, by genre etc. The choice remains entirely yours, for you can arrange your mini library according to your preferences.

A library shelf is not just a place to keep your books; it offers for a great decorative item as well.
