OK. If it’s a small bookshelf and could plausibly fit in a car/hatchback/etc. then you could just drive it there if you have a car of the right shape/size. Or you could rent a mobile storage container and hitch it to your car.
If you don’t have a car by then, or won’t be driving it, then you can rent a U-Haul or other moving vehicle.
If you really, really don’t want to drive (or it’s something like cross-country diagonally and you just can’t spare the time), then you can hire professional movers or shippers, maybe it won’t cost as much if you’re only moving one thing.
Another option in a situation like this would be to leave the bookshelf with your parents, or in storage, locally until you’re set up somewhere you think you will stay long term. Lots of folks leave some things “back home” for a while for the first few years after school.

I’ll remember that for whenever I get everything figured out. Thank you!
