The Library-Go-Round

The Library-Go-Round adds a distinctive difference to your library, a unique way to show off your favorite tomes and a useful method of conducting research and taking notes. The five shelves of this revolving book display, inspired by one owned by Thomas Jefferson, can hold several books at various levels and angles and are also useful for note-taking and cross-checking information from several sources. The spinning lazy susan-style base of this rotating bookcase is perfect for spotlighting rare first editions, specialty books, favorite artwork and photographs. The Library-Go-Round folds up neatly into a 12" box when not in use.
