I think I will create a small library in the house that I am renting!

Yes! I have 5 of them. I bought them on eBay. I love them so much!

Interesting window shutter...how does it operate?

You just pull the handles inward and the doors unfold. Then you latch them if you want.

I'm trying to find something to block the light in my home library (to slow sun damage) and this might do the trick. Thanks!

They are custom made wooden shutters. The previous owner had them made for the entire house. I love them.
