bookcase
Shelved volume storage
A bookcase is a piece of furniture with shelves for storing books.
Bookcases range from small freestanding units to built-in floor-to-ceiling installations.
The word applies whether the case has doors or not: The lawyer's office had glass-fronted bookcases along every wall.
