Having a bookcase near a research bench provides a bonus to research speed, as well as skill XP and recreation gained from reading. The bonus scales with amount and quality of books stored in a bookcase [How much?]. For example 4/10 books provides a 4% reading bonus, visible on the bookcase itself and when inspecting any research benches in range. At 6/10 books the bonus is 4.4%. Two full bookshelves provide a combined 7.5% reading bonus.

The research bonus applies to both Hi-Tech and Simple Research Benches, and is applied multiplicatively, similar to Room Cleanliness.
