If you're a bibliophile, chances are you have more books than you know what to do with. Don't let your good reads waste away in a cardboard box. Instead, put them on display in your very own home library. Creating a space for books can be troublesome, especially if you're unfamiliar with styling bookshelves. We have 12 ways to create a library at home - you'll never want to leave the house again.

When struggling to find the right place to
create your library, a great option is your living room. Put bookshelves behind
your couch if you don't have lots of space.
