There are many bookshelves scattered around Tamriel. They can be found pretty much anywhere indoors, be it in taverns, people's houses or in dungeons.

Even if you are not too interested in reading books in the Elder Scrolls Online, it is still worth having a quick look at them when you find bookshelves in the game, as they can provide small benefits that help your character along.
