You can use book glue to repair loose pages or contact paper to recover a well-loved book. I was shocked at how many duplicate books I had. Donate or sell any books you no longer want or are duplicates. This is also a good time to weed out your collection. Stamp the book with your library stamp.Record each book in the software of your choice (see options listed above).We organized our whole library in one summer. I know this sounds daunting, but I found that if I set a goal of going through one shelf a day, the task was not overwhelming. If you’re not seeing any questions you previously bookmarked, that means they haven’t been processed yet.
#Where did my book collection go in bookpedia update#

Contact paper-If the edges of a paperback book are bent or getting worn, follow the tutorial below to cover it with contact paper to protect and repair it.Book glue-This book adhesive is helpful for when a book starts coming apart at the spine.Label protectors or packing tape-If the colored dot stickers do not stay on the spine well, you can use label protectors or a small piece of packing tape to keep them in place.Other options include a spreadsheet, Biblio, and Book Buddy. Software-I use Bookpedia, which also has a mobile option.Alternatively, you could use mailing labels, return address labels, or write your name in the book. Library stamp-I purchased a self-inking stamp with “Wagner Library” from Staples.Colored dot stickers-I use the 3/4” colored dot stickers from Demco.This will also determine how many and what color dot stickers you need to purchase (more on that in a moment).
