Step 1
Edit those books. Just because they are in the garage doesn’t mean they are keepers. Recycle some, donate others. Be ruthless. Really what good is a book to you if you’ll never crack it open again? Let someone else enjoy it.
-
Step 2
Sort out remaining books. Photo albums in one area, science fiction in another pile and so on. You can get as detailed as you like. Set up your own Dewey Decimal system if so inclined.
-
Step 3
Count them up. Now that all your books are keepers, figure out how much shelving you need. Line them up along the side of the garage. Make sure there is enough room for the car (and for you to exit it).

Step 4
Protect the books. If your bookcases don’t have doors (like a lawyer’s bookcase) perhaps you want to make plastic curtains for them. Garages get a lot of wear and tear.
