After checking, the researcher saw that there were several things that needed to be rearranged, namely bookshelves and book data.

After obtaining the book, the researcher cleaned and redecorated the library such as arranging the layout of the library to make it a comfortable library, painting the walls to make it look clean, decorating the library so that people were interested in reading in the library, and so on. After decorating the library, the researcher began to classify books using predetermined codes.
