 Hi Mark
The key to private library vs a book hoarder is what is your largest single book acquisition?  If it is a few boxes you are a private library, if you measure your acquisition in TONS then you might be a hoarder.  Years ago I brought home a truck  load 1 ton of books in a single trip, now I have a bigger truck.
But either way lining the exterior walls of your home with book cases is good insulation.
My wife is a librarian so if you guess we are closer to being ?????
