A bookcase, or bookshelf, is a piece of furniture, almost always with horizontal shelves, used to store books. A bookcase consists of a unit including two or more shelves which may not all be used to contain books or other printed materials. Shelves may be fixed or adjustable to different positions in the case. In rooms entirely devoted to the storage of books they may be permanently fixed to the walls and/or floor. Bookcases frequently have doors that should be closed to protect the books from air pollution, and bookshelves are open-fronted. These doors are almost always glazed, so as to allow the spines of the books to be read. Especially valuable books may be kept in locked cases with wooden or glazed doors. A bookshelf normally stands on some other piece of furniture such as a desk or chest. Larger books are more likely to be kept in horizontal piles and very large books flat on wide shelves.

Although the bookshelf is meant mainly for books, I may have magazines or reports there that I might occasionally need. The way I keep them organized is by buying them a separate magazine storage folders, which could be located for example at the bottom level of your bookshelf. You could also label your storage boxes to see quickly what's in it (if it's non-transparent).

To make your bookshelf even easier to use, try to categorize you books. You could have different levels for different purposes (you could even label the levels by the category). If you happen to store books of different category on a same level, you could purchase book dividers to keep them apart. Also, it helps to have your books to be stored so that the one you most frequently use are the easiest to access.
