A family library: who owns what
· 3 min read
In a home, books mix: parents', children's, inherited ones. After a few years nobody knows who owns what, or who has read it.
An owner on the record
A simple "whose" field is enough. It answers the question that returns at house moves, inheritances, or when someone leaves home.
Keep catalogues personal
Each Qimtar account sees only its own books. For a family, the simplest is one account per reader, rather than a shared library where everything mixes and nobody dares edit someone else's record.
Inherited books
Note where they came from, with a word about the person. In twenty years that little field will be the most precious part of the record.
