As a DM, I find I use little more the core books at the table. The rest I use mainly for prep work. If I need something from another book, I try to make it up on the fly, because the players won't really know the difference. You could further reduce your bookload by printing a cheat sheet for some of the books.But if you still want a portable bookshelf, there are two easy options I can think of.1.) Buy a plastic container. I've seen some with wheels, but they're easy to attach anyway. What you're looking for is something of dimensions such that you can fit your books with the spine pointing upward, since the container will probably open from the top. This is a bit taller than most containers, but I'm sure there are some that will work. These sorts of containers usually have handles already. And naturally, they have covers, so rain isn't a problem. Most are stackable, so you could attach wheels to one, stack the others on top, and push the stack around if you need to, but I'd probably just carry them. And you can store them in a closet or under a bed.2.) Build a bookshelf out of wood. This is a bit more work, and maybe more expensive, but more flexible (and in my opinion, more fun).You just need to figure out the appropriate dimensions, cut and sand the wood, and screw the boards together. You can make it one shelf high or two as you like, but you probably don't want it taller than that. Handles and wheels are readily available at hardware stores and easy enough to attach. Buy some hinges and catches while you're there, so you can put doors on the front to keep the books from falling out during transit. They'll be mostly protected from the rain too, but if you're worried, cover it with a tarp or sheet. Just varnish or paint it, and it'll look good almost anywhere in the house.</blockquote>
