In your residence, do you have a room dedicated solely to books and reading? |

I did until I had kids. Now I have a basement office/Library/Paint room. Once I get them out of college and launched I will move the books back upstairs. |
BrockLanders | 03 May 2018 7:15 p.m. PST |
Yes, four season room with a fireplace that's just big enough for a nice comfy couch to recline on and read |
Skeets | 03 May 2018 7:26 p.m. PST |
Dens functions as a library and television room with comfortable seating. |

Yea, it's between the study and the billiard room, just down the hall from the conservatory. Actually ‘No', I just have a bookcase in the living room. |
Neal Smith | 03 May 2018 7:46 p.m. PST |
No, but I really want one. |
Bashytubits | 03 May 2018 7:49 p.m. PST |
I did until I moved, now my library is in storage. |

My home IS a library! (So is the place where I work – when I'm able-!) Charlie |

My library is in every room except the kitchen. |
Doug MSC | 03 May 2018 9:16 p.m. PST |
Yes, a room dedicated to reading. |
nickinsomerset | 03 May 2018 10:17 p.m. PST |
a study, but more in there than just books! Tally Ho! |
Ed Mohrmann | 03 May 2018 10:48 p.m. PST |
Yes, a room with 3 walls of books, one of figures and the 'lifeboat' computer. |
COL Scott ret | 03 May 2018 11:51 p.m. PST |
No but 4 different rooms have shelves of books. This is the issue with homeschooling – organizing the books. Now my daughter is "soon" getting married and I may get a chunk of the loft for games and books etc. |

Too many books, not enough house. Only the bathroom and the kitchen don't have books on a permanent basis. |
Oberlindes Sol LIC | 04 May 2018 1:30 a.m. PST |
"a room dedicated solely to books and reading" No. We have shelves that are mostly full of books, but also have wargames, photo albums, DVDs, CDs, a book that is actually a cigar humidor, and some miscellaneous objects that we've picked up in our travels. I do most of my reading of paper products sitting on the deck in the sunshine and drinking tea. |
Green Tiger | 04 May 2018 1:34 a.m. PST |
Since my partner moved out most of the house is a library… I do my writing in the bedroom which has many books – maybe that counts… |
15th Hussar | 04 May 2018 1:57 a.m. PST |
My House IS my Library! There isn't a room without a book and shelves abound in my living room, dining room and both bedrooms. |
ZULUPAUL | 04 May 2018 3:01 a.m. PST |
No but my hobby room has functioned as one at times. Most rooms have books in them. |
IUsedToBeSomeone | 04 May 2018 3:52 a.m. PST |
Yes, one room with nothing but a chair and a kindle……. (-: |

Books everywhere in my house. Shelves, tables, stacked in corners, on the bed stand, coffee table, on desks, chairs… |
Garryowen | 04 May 2018 5:16 a.m. PST |
Yes, I call it my Custer room as it is filled with my books on that subject. A little bit of wall space has Custer art and my small repro Northern Plains beadwork collection. My other books are in my wargame room. Tom |
Frederick | 04 May 2018 5:26 a.m. PST |
Yes – a small but very functional den with built-in bookshelves; one wall houses all my 54 mm minis |
79thPA | 04 May 2018 5:27 a.m. PST |
Not a dedicated room; I have bookcases all over the house. |
Extra Crispy | 04 May 2018 5:35 a.m. PST |
No. About 5 years ago I gave away all my books. We have a couple hundred left which are essentially decoration. I have gone to the e-book, so read in every room in the house. |
mckrok | 04 May 2018 5:50 a.m. PST |
Depends on who you ask. I would say, no; my wife would say, yes. pjm |
StoneMtnMinis | 04 May 2018 6:12 a.m. PST |
I used to, but with age comes the realization that most of the books will never be read again. So, I am slowly selling them off(The Great $3.00 USD Book Sale). I have one 5 shelf bookcase which houses my reference books for the AWI, ACW, and Colonial periods. I now use this new thing(not sure if it will last tho) called the internet for all additional research. |
Dashetal | 04 May 2018 6:16 a.m. PST |
We look like a rambling old bookstore. Hints of shelves and book cases in every room. Lots of places to read and enjoy the aesthetics. |
Thomas O | 04 May 2018 6:41 a.m. PST |
There are books in almost every room in our house. |
Chuckaroobob | 04 May 2018 6:57 a.m. PST |
Yes, but the books are everywhere else, too. |
Micman | 04 May 2018 8:22 a.m. PST |
Bookshelves are all over the house. I think we are a 10+ in our 1023 sq feet. Our hobbies take up the rest of the space. Still trying to figure out where to sleep…. |
Patrick Sexton | 04 May 2018 8:47 a.m. PST |
Yes, if it is OK that there is a painting table in the middle of it. |
Shagnasty | 04 May 2018 9:07 a.m. PST |
Library serves as an office/study. No comfy chairs to torture me as I read. |
KSmyth | 04 May 2018 10:28 a.m. PST |
I have a reading space, that often isn't used as a reading space. Comfortable chairs right by a nice window, with a large bookcase behind. Great space during the spring/summer. Kind of dark and chilly during the long Northwest winter. |
ColCampbell | 04 May 2018 11:37 a.m. PST |
Kinda – one short wall and around a corner in our living room is devoted to full bookshelves plus another bookshelf in my hobby room. Jim |
dampfpanzerwagon | 04 May 2018 11:56 a.m. PST |
No….. But I'd love to have one. Tony |
miniMo | 04 May 2018 12:01 p.m. PST |
Library only no. Books in every room of the house, yes. |
