We believe children should be surrounded by books whether they belong to the library or to your family. But storing books can be a problem in small homes. At our place we recently conceded to storing our own books two deep in order to make space for our son's growing collection. We wondered if a revolving bookcase could be the answer to our problem and went online to see what our options were.
Surprisingly, we didn't find very many. We've linked to the four best from our hunt below. If a few of them seem too institutional (they are targeted to libraries and schools), one word: paint!
• 1 Revolving Bookcase, $599
• 2 Two-Shelf Book Carousel, $217 (three-shelf, $255)
• 3 4-Sided Big Book Library Book Shelves, $214 (note: this does not technically revolve, but it is on casters)
• 4 Kid-Friendly Book & Media Carousel, $120 (please note the mixed reviews of this product)

My grandfather made a rotating bookshelf for my sister and I when we were little. It didn't really look like any of those. It was rectangular, was three levels high, and had three openings on each side. It was on wheels, and had pictures of animals pasted on the side (later painted over to match decor). I loved that thing. We called it "the book blocks".
*le sigh* Thanks for the memory!

I spotted this, reblogged, on Tumblr. What a cool idea! And not only for kids' rooms, I think. Here's a beautiful revolving bookcase in wood - http://www.townsendcabinetmakers.com/revolv.html
i love the pb one... but $600 for a BOOKCASE for my baby's room? yeah... i'd much rather try to make one myself w/a lazy suzan & maybe two old corner bookcases (if i can find em cheap enough on craigslist).
great post. i think it's a great idea for a revolving bookcase, wish there were more affordable options (besides the landofnod one that isnt very well made based on the reviews).
