A small bookcase is an item of furniture item that stores up to five books and protects them from deterioration.

Acquisition

Small bookcases can be constructed once the Complex furniture research project has been completed. Each requires  10 Stuff (Metallic/Woody/Stony, 100 for SVMs) and 250 ticks (4.17 secs) of work modified by the construction speed of the builder and the work to build factor and offset of the material.

Summary

Books in a bookcase provide a reading bonus, improving the speed of research, as well as improving XP gain and recreation from reading.

Storage settings

Linking small shelves and blueprints.

The default storage settings is to contain general items at the "Important" priority level, but this can be changed at will, even while the storage is still in an unfinished blueprint form.

Similar storage types can also be "linked" together in groups. Linked storage will share the same storage settings. In order to link storages, select the storage buildings you want to link (shift-click to select multiple items), then select the "Link settings" gizmo. You can link storage buildings even if they are uncompleted. The link will keep the storage settings of the first building selected in a link. You can only link buildings that share the same storage filter.

Analysis

Small bookcases allow storing up to 5 books per tile (more than shelves), provide a reading bonus, and are cheap, so they should be used if any amount of books are in the colony. If the recreation room and laboratory are different rooms, one or the other will have to be chosen. Combining them is possible, but such a room can't also be a workshop, bedroom/barracks, or throne room without a research penalty.

Bookcases built of non-flammable materials will protect the books inside from fire, so stone is an ideal choice.

A regular bookcase takes the same time and resources to build as 2 small bookcases, so they are practically identical other than their size. Small bookcases are a smaller loss in case of a targeted tantrum, but bookcases are worth little in any case.
