How often do you clean out your library? I aways feel a need to hold onto books, but I honestly don't have space. There have been a few time where I have loaned books to friends and never gotten them back. So, what do I do? Buy the book again because I think I need it in my collection. Ridiculous, I know. I have boxes of books in the garage that were never unpacked after my last move. That was years ago, and I don't even know what's out there.
I have turned to kindle for space saving reasons and the convince of having so many books only a click away. But I still like to read actual books. And it's not only books. My stash of literary journals is now getting out of control. I hate the idea of getting rid of any of those, and I have reread journals. Still, I don't know if it is enough to justify keeping all of them. Especially because more keep coming.
I imagine many of you have had to battle a growing book collection. How do you handle this when you know you already have too many books?
