We're a homeschooling family and lovers of books. We have hundreds of new books coming into our house each year. This can get difficult in a small space. There are two main solutions for a glut of books -
1) Get rid of them
2) Find more places to put them
For getting rid of them, I love paperbackswap!
But, I still have so many books. One of the best things we've done is to put bookshelves above all the doors in our hallway. We are able to store tons of books this way . . . and I think they look nice, too. Also, by putting them in a hallway, they really do not affect your decor or clutter up your rooms.

As you can see, each shelf holds a lot of books!!
What's your favorite, organized way to store your books?
