My Shelving needs help!

My books are crammed into one room. I have done the best I can, but I have little ones running around and I have to keep them away from the most of my books. Any Ideas on how I can still display the books around the house and protect them from two toddler boys?

Why not have a shelf for their books? That way, when they see Daddy pull a book off of the shelf, they can do the same. Nice library!

Oh they have a few shelves but they are not quite as, (shall we say obsessive) about keeping the books pristine. Thanks for the compliment!

Your Library is amazing!

ah, try a disapproving look. My 3 boys grew up with books everywhere and managed not to harm any. Now they take good care of their own too

I didn't do this to protect books from toddlers, but it could work for that - I put a few shelves up that attach to the wall, and while I can reach them easily, a child would have difficulty. Mine are somewhat decorative, not just plain utilitarian shelves & brackets, if I can get it to work, I'll post a pic. (bear with me, I'm still new at this)



Anyway, there are a lot of shelving options for any decorating style, so you could probably find something you like.

Thanks ShanM816 That Looks kind of easy.

It had to be easy for me to do it, I'm not very good at these things. The hardest part was getting them level.

I'm not Bob Villa myself but I do OK. I will soon reach the point where no matter how I work it, I will have to keep some books in boxes. geometry dictates I simply do not have any more space.... Oh well!

Install plexi panels over the shelves, like french doors and add a lock in the middle. You can see your books, hands coated in sticky-icky have no access.
