If you are thinking that the wall was lined with cork to stop condensation issues then you might be onto something.
I've very rarely seen mould caused by bookcases but I don't doubt it exists in some places.

The wall in the back room gets cold, the kids sleep there.
The plan was to cork the brick wall and then the other end of the bed (plasterboard internal cupboard wall thing) would get a bookcase. Then the plan/desire was to put pictures up on the brick wall. I hate drilling to put pictures up. So, pictures in frames with nails/pins on the plasterboard, book case on the other. Didn't want mouldy books. Thought cork would solve two problems at once.

Cork on a bedroom wall (external), bookcase on same wall. Is this a bad idea?
