   Bookshelves in front of your bookshelves, suspended on barn door hardware with castors at the bottom. The individual shelves can be moved to access those at the back.

   Not that I'm trying to give you all ideas, or anything.

     Nooo - Time is a thief like Baggins, and will steal your precious!
     Start reading them now, otherwise you may never know important parrot facts like:

     "Parrots were used in Moving Pictures to add sound to movies. This failed miserably, in part because the handlemen (cameramen) taught them to say things like "show us your knickers"... and the Discworld wasn't *quite* ready for films like that (yet)."

     @SeaFury @dunedinmouse @isol @golgaloth @bookstodon Yeah, it’s called L-space. Libraries (and those quirky bookshops that are filled to the brim with books) bend time and space so much that it creates an entire new dimension. #ook

     @SeaFury @isol @golgaloth @bookstodon That's what Pratchett's library was about. Seem to remember trouser leg analogy involved.

     @isol Why stop at three dimensions? Store your books in different times and pocket universes. Populate entire worlds with your books 🥳😉 @golgaloth @bookstodon

     If you're going to go to that amount of effort, why restrict movement to one axis?

     With an additional set of tracks at 90°, you could have a system where you drag your favourite bookshelf anywhere in the room (in the house?)
