It is characterized by its adjustable shelves thanks to a rack system, a technical innovation that allows height adjustments according to the size of the bindings. Before becoming a movable piece of furniture, it was often built into the woodwork of castles; it was the bourgeoisie that transformed it into a standalone piece that could be moved according to one's desires. Whether open or glass-fronted, it is a sanctuary of knowledge, once referred to as a "librairie" in old inventories.
