Bookcases are furniture used in libraries.

Bookcases are built using Alt+c.

Bookcases can be crafted from 1 log in the Carpenter's workshop, 2 bars in the Metalsmith's forge, 1 bag of sand in the Glass furnace, or 1 stone in the Craftsdwarf's workshop.

Bookcases are stockpiled in furniture stockpiles under "Other Large Tools".

It is not easy to find how many books a bookcase will hold, based on their capacity it should be between 200 and 400 (books do not have a fixed size). So not many bookcases are needed for typical libraries. A bookcase can hold 500 scrolls.
