Several different indexing systems are used in our public and academic libraries but they basically all follow some sort of Subject/Author system. Some libraries make more efficient use of space by organizing their books by size - this is a good start, but if we really want to inspire a new generation of readers and writers, then we need to mix it up a bit.
So, I propose that the Subject/Author thing is scrapped, and that books are arranged on shelves by colour: an orange shelf, a red shelf, a beige shelf, a duck-egg-blue shelf etc etc It will be beautiful.
Colour-indexed bookshelves are the way forward, and Lancaster Library is the place to start it. If you want to see this happen - and of course you do - then please sign below. Thank you. Thank you so, so much.

Finally someone said it! It would look so much nicer and easier to find books that match my living room decor too. Lancaster needs to get with the program.
