What is it for?

This plugin allows players to store books, maps, and more into those once useless bookshelves. It encourages players to write books and store them in shelves, and can build onto your economy with libraries and bookstores by using the built in Vault support. Unlimited bookshelves make rule walls a thing of the past; store rule books inside an unlimited shelf, and every player can have one! Book Shelves are opened like a chest, by right clicking on the shelf. This opens a chest-like inventory that only allows the storage of books, maps, records, and paper. The items are stored in an SQLite database, so no setup is required to use this plugin! MySQL support is optional. These are just a few of the many features of BookShelf.

What are the Features?

Store books, maps, records (music discs), and paper in bookshelves.
Right click on shelves to open a familiar chest-like inventory!

Add support for Lockette how? To Lock bookshelves?

If so, add Bookshelves(Block ID) to Lockette's config...no need for him to reinvent the wheel here.

Right, 2.7.1 does not require SQLibrary. I'm testing my own library, so it may not be stable. Report any bugs you find please :)

Just checking beforehand, v2.7.1 no longer requires SQlibrary? I'm pretty sure that's what was said down there and what not. Pretty busy lately, skimming through :P

This has been reported already for this build, so I am certain it is a bug. I'm not sure if it is CraftBukkit or BookShelf yet, though I am looking into it. I have had experiences where CraftBukkit was the culprit, so I might wait until a couple more builds come out and then try again. Thanks for the notice :)

Thanks for the memory usage report. I was actually unaware of the memory usage jump until you told me. I guess that's what betas are for, right? ;) I'll check to make sure I close all my queries and such so I don't leak memory.

Maybe I'll create a separate plugin which adds onto Bookshelf as not to bloat Bookshelf with code not everybody would use. Thanks for the suggestion! This has been on my mind for a while.

Could there be a system like a real library, where when players take a book out of a chest, it is recorded down and they cannot exit the library unless they checkout the book with the librarian or a self checkout counter (right-clicking a sign or NPC support via Citizens?). It would be even more awesome if there were overdue notices and costs for being overdue (Vault?)

Adding that feature will make this not only a book plugin, but a fully fledged library plugin! Looking forward for you to add this :D
