You are our Teacher and like disciples we come to learn from the example of your holy life. You are our Mother, and like children, we come to offer you all of the love of our hearts. Receive, dearest Mother, our offerings and listen attentively to our supplications. Amen.

We've never had to do this before, but with the new bookcases they tend to lean out when loaded because they are extra height {6.5ft}.

Has anyone installed wall anchors for bookcases before and can give me a brief explanation of how to do it and whst I need? Our drywall {installed by previous owner} is pretty cheap and thin too FWIW.

Hoping I can fix this - DD is a climber!

You could try sticking some shims under the front edge to tilt them back a bit, see if that works before investing effort in anchors.
