Other people find my shelving "system" somewhat opaque. Most don't really understand the "Minneapolis authors" section.
A large part of my library was seriously randomized a couple of years ago, when a couple of teenagers moved a bunch of books around to make room for my girlfriend's stuff. I had expected that they would move shelves of books, retaining their order. I still find it extremely stressful to have to search for books from those areas. They didn't even keep together the groups of books by single authors; things were just shoved in wherever they would fit. And though the intention was to make room for more books, they took sections that had been double-shelved and single-shelved everything. <*gritting teeth*> I will never again allow anyone to reorganize my library without some very clear instructions.
