About 50%

The rest is in boxes.

The organized part has a full bookcase for music books and another for cook books and another for home improvement and woodworking stuff.

We have about 1/2 a bookcase for gardening and 1/2 for crafts.
Shelves are allocated for poetry, history, geography, needlework (which has it's own shelves, separate from crafts).

There is one bookcase full of fiction which is completely disorganized.
There are about a dozen boxes of books in the library which are partly organized. Partly meaning that all the non-fiction is organized but the fiction is still in boxes.

Upstairs there are twenty or more full boxes which we haven't got to yet.

Every week we declare a moratorium on buying books and then we go to Goodwill and _ Ah well, you know how it goes, there's this cookbpok for 25 cents and this book about something else and there's maybe a Dick Francis or a Hammond Innes that we can't resist.

WELL YOU DID ASK!!!
