The library is part of the house, not separate. And we will also have bookshelves throughout the house, but as we retire into this house we'll probably get rid of most of P's teaching books in three years, probably give them to the girls when they start teaching, and I'll probably cull lots of my law books, especially the legal texts which are now ten years old and I'll probably never look at again. It's just that throwing away a book is only a wee bit less painful than sending a child off to college. And much more final. But the library will have 9 foot ceilings, with floor to ceiling bookshelves everywhere there isn't a window (except for a few feet of desk and computer desk space which will have bookshelves above but not below), (and, yes, a library ladder!) and the back balcony will be supported by floor to ceiling bookshelves which will create an alcove with shelves on all three sides, and I mentioned the upstairs balcony shelving, and adding in shelves lining the upstairs hall and floor-to-ceiling bookcases sunk into parts of the main hall and bookcases tucked into various other areas, not to mention just putting shelving along various walls, I'm hoping we'll have enough shelving.
