We love books around here. We are addicted to buying books. That creates a problem. We keep running out of shelf space! The good part about that is that we have a person in the house who likes to build things out of wood, so I asked Elijah to build us more shelving in the library. The library is a very wide hallway in the center of the house, and we now have floor-to-ceiling shelves all around it. Elijah took advantage of a weekend when most of us went away for two nights to do the construction. He had been away a lot just before that, so didn’t want to be gone again, and Esther wanted to stay home, so they took care of the cows and the house, and built.
Esther helped take the books off the shelves as soon as they finished the morning work, and then he got busy. She sent us several pictures throughout the day to keep us updated.
After we got home, we put the books back on the shelves, and since then I’ve done a little tweaking to organize them better. Now, Esther and two of the boys just arrived home from a month in America, and brought a lot more books in their suitcases. We’re soon going to run out of space again!
