    I haven't but I try to keep the room fairly dark - no direct sunlight and minimize even indirect light as much as I can.

    Same here. I keep the blinds closed most of the time.

    Looking through this thread and I've found that not only have I asked this before, but there was a considerable discussion about it. I, apparently - have the memory of a goldfish. Please ignore me.
    I have two and I purchased UV window film to put on the glass.
    I've thought about doing this as well but haven't. The room mine are in gets lots of natural light but not direct sunlight.

    For anyone curious what the hell I've been doing for the last few years if I still haven't gotten around to applying the UV film... I taped up some wrapping paper to the inside of the glass to keep the light out.


    Someday I'll have a proper room to act as a library. Someday.

    Very easy for a professional. Expensive though.

    You bring up an interesting point - I hadn't considered a professional install... that said, it's just an apartment that I rent, and I may move on. So it doesn't seem ideal financially. UV protecting the windows of the bookcase doors however, is a much smaller job.

    I’ve never been able to find conclusive answers via Google, but perhaps you lot know.

    How harmful is indirect sunlight, exactly? In other words, how much UV radiation is still “in it”? The room my books are in has daylight all day long (window facing SW), but depending on the position of the sun, a neighbour’s window can reflect a spotlight-like beam directly into the room and on my books. I’ve been closing the curtain in front of that window in the early afternoon to keep out that light, but sometimes I forget or an overcast day suddenly turns sunny and catches me off-guard.

    How diligent do I have to be? Will putting UV film on the window completely solve the issue?

    The less sun the better. Direct sunlight is the worst and will cause damage quickly. Indirect sunlight will still cause damage. It will just be less damage or take longer. Minor amounts of indirect sunlight will probably not cause noticeable damage for a long time depending on the material. Some material is very sensitive to UV light.

    Brodart covers offer some protection. Dustjackets with Brodart covers will probably be fine in indirect light.

    There are different grades of UV film. They filter lesser or greater amounts of UV light. It's best to buy one that "blocks" UV light. Those offer 99% or better UV protection.

    UV light, visible light, humidity and chemicals can all fade materials, so UV film alone will not "completely" solve the issue. It is usually the primary factor in a typical home though.

    Picked up the new bookcases yesterday, all seven of them; five for the "family" section, one extra one for Kings, and one for my daughter's room. Have plenty of extra pegs and shelves, so can arrange as needed. Now it's just a matter of arranging!

    Looking for display cases for a common room....

    We are building and I'll have a "library" but the common great room will get some of my favorites, like the upcoming Suntup Rosemary's Baby & Dragon Rebound Books, which have been wife approved for display. I'd like something nice, but also secure....have a 5 and 6 year old with friends.

    Ideas/thoughts?

    I'd think someone with a Tua avatar wouldn't hate kids, roll tide. My grandmother was the 1st female professor at UA.

    Sorry, not a joking matter for me, most important and greatest thing that ever happened to me was the kids.

    Anyway...back to what people like or have seen that they like. I'm not above going Ikea, but I do like to match the greatness of what is inside with what is holding them.

    Yeah, I'm not offended but I'm not gonna joke on that (although admittedly I was needling a little with the "hates kids", that wasn't serious). I'm sure you love kids, and I didn't mean to get on you, just wanted to redirect. I'm in the market right now for some of these things as we prepare the house.

    No problems from me here, I especially like your avatar.

    I'm a cabinetman.

    Ikea actually has some decent stuff. You will be hard pressed to find comps at the same price point. You might want to hire a professional to actually build and install the bookcases. You, or your hired professional, can add locks with no problem.

    You can also replace the wood shelves with glass shelves and add LED lighting. Make sure to use shelf pins made for glass. (They have a rubber coating or sleeve.)
