Removing the desk from the library

[iteles]

Linked to #290 (comment) but as requested in this comment (rightly so) a separate issue.

We have a big desk in the library and this causes two main problems for me:

1. It's a magnet for clutter
2. It takes up so much room that it makes the library difficult to move in and takes if from a calm reading space to a cluttered environment.

I would like to suggest removing it from the library, temporarily as a test as I think this will improve the library space and usage a lot.

Tasks

• Clear the desk
• Remove it to another location in the house (this is where Upstairs (daylight!) Desk? 💻  #290 comes in)

This is my task for this afternoon and I can't WAIT ❤️

Where are you going to put all the books that are on the desk? 🤷‍♂️
To me this seems like an un-fixable problem unless we give away some books ... 📚

If you spend 10 mins there with me, we can see if there's a category we can easily thin out or not store visibly for now. Eventually we will need to have more than one library's worth of books.

I don't want to sacrifice any of the children's books at the moment and we need at least an extra shelf for them so you're right, something has to go.

I am SO looking forward to getting the desk out of the library ❤️

Inês, You know I'm always happy to spend 10 mins with you. ❤️
The question really is: ❓
Where do we have space for the books that have been purchased (or gifted to us) this last year? 🤷‍♂️
