|No self-respecting, educated homesteader was without an Ornery Owl bookcase. Shipped by flatcar, covered wagon or mule train, these heavy, ornate "book arks" were a real rarity and status symbol throughout the Old West. With the arrival of books and exotic "schools" years later, they also became increasingly useful.

}}Bookshelves contain an indefinite number of skill and non-skill [[book]]s. Bookshelves can be used by any Sim, child or older, to develop [[cooking]], [[mechanical]] and [[cleaning]] skills. Sims can also read books from the bookshelf for enjoyment, or write in their diary. Teenaged or older Sims can read books to toddler or child Sims using the bookshelf. [[Young adult]]s in [[college]] can and sometimes will do research, as well invite others to participate in such activity.
Bookshelves contain an unlimited number of skill and non-skill [[book]]s. They can be used by any Sim, child or older, to develop [[cooking]], [[mechanical]] and [[cleaning]] skills. Sims can also read books from the bookshelf for enjoyment, or write in their diary. [[Teen]]s and older can read books from the bookshelf to toddlers and children. Sims cannot study from the bookshelf to increase their grades, although [[young adult]]s in [[College (sub-neighborhood)|college]] can use the bookshelf to do research.


Books are considered to be separate from the bookshelf, unlike ''The Sims''. Since most books in ''The Sims 2'' are considered to be the same and can be used for the same purposes, it is possible for a bookshelf to simply be sold after a Sim has removed a book from one. Books removed from a bookshelf can be placed on the ground or on tables, and can be used again an unlimited number of times. If a bookshelf is present, Sims can be instructed to put books back into the bookshelf, and neat Sims may do this autonomously after reading a book.

With ''[[The Sims 2: Open for Business|Open for Business]]'' expansion pack, books can be put on sale by marking any bookshelf with the sale tool. This allows players to start and run a simulated bookstore at home business or in an owned community lot.

}}In ''[[The Sims 3]]'', bookshelves hold books, but books must be purchased individually. The interface allows the player to move books into and out of the bookshelf. Unlike in ''The Sims'' and ''The Sims 2'', where Sims can get the same books from different shelves, in ''The Sims 3'', different bookshelves will have different books in them. (eg. Bookshelf 1 has a cookbook in it but not Bookshelf 2. The Sim cannot get a cookbook from Bookshelf 2, unless the cookbook is placed in Bookshelf 2.)
