August Monthly Organizing Challenge - Book Organization

August's organizing challenge is book organization.  It's a great time to go through your books before school starts.  Below is a list of different types of books that you can review throughout the month to get organized.

• Go through textbooks and get rid of the ones that are too old and outdated.
• Cookbooks - Click to read about how to hide cookbooks that are out in your kitchen.
• Reference books and get rid any outdated reference books that you don't want to keep.
• Outdated Phonebooks - we all get them and sometimes forget to get rid of the old ones.
• Self-help books - review any self-help books and donate the ones that you don't want.
• Business books - if you have business books, go through them and decide if you want them.
• Scrapbooks - if you plan to finish your scrapbook, make time to do it.
• Technology manuals and books - review and remove any books or manuals that you do not need any longer.
• Fiction and Non-fiction books - review your leisure reading books.
• Kids books - Remove books that your kids do not read any longer.
