Attaching the sides of the bookcase to the shelves will secure it however you will have to figure out a method. Drilling small pilot holes and running some screws through the sides into the shelves should work well, however, only if the material is solid wood and may work with plywood. If the material is plywood or particle board you will need to consider using gussets, either made from wood or, better, pre-formed steel brackets available at any hardware store. You would then screw the "L" shaped metal brackets to the underside of the shelves and then screw them to the bookcase sides.

You may also consider lightening the load, such as finding another place to store your lead crystal collection.
