Mariner's Library Bookcase Number 2

28 Jan 22:

We finished the second bookcase for the library, cedar sides and pine shelves.

We also made a base for the shorter shelves we already had, which gave us another spot to store large archival boxes. Capn Jack's sextant got a special spot on the upper shelf cubby, and that will also be a good spot to store oversize magazines. More scraps were utilized to make a plans, patterns and chart holder. Now we need to alphabetize the collection, most of which is not seen here, and start populating the shelves. Once it is all sorted we might need to make another shelf to go on top.

Sailing Library

When you're not sailing, you could be reading about sailing :) I am developing a list of interesting and useful sailing books, most can be found on Worldcat, the world's largest online catalog. Do a search for your title then enter your zipcode to check out the "Find a copy in the library" locator. Remember your library can also probably get your book through Inter Library Loan (ILL). Also, most state funded college libraries are open to the public. Worldcat also has a "Buy it" link in case you want to purchase the book through Amazon, Barnes and Noble, etc...

Our Short List:
