bookracks
Library storage furniture
Bookracks are frames or shelves designed to hold books upright or on display.
A bookrack might sit on a desk to keep reference materials within reach, or stand in a library to present featured titles.
The term overlaps with bookstand and bookshelf, though bookrack often suggests a smaller, more portable structure.
