What are those stands for service books called?

[Alveus Lacuna]

There are all manner of stands for books in Orthodox churches, those Greek spinning things, the double-decker deals to stack the books on, etc. But what are these things called? I was just curious if you wanted something for trying to do readers services at home, if you can get anything like this affordable or if they are all just outrageous like a lot of other church materials. I haven't been able to find anything online.

It's a type of analogion. I'm not sure if there's a special term for it.

In Greek they are called 'analogia' (singular 'analogion'); 'lectern' is what I find them marketed as. The proper ones, from church suppliers, are crazy expensive - no less than 2 grand, because solid wood, and carving, and lacquering. At home, you could make do with a shelving unit or cabinet, like this, and a tabletop book stand on top.

This site sells 'em: http://www.alphaomegachurchsupplies.com/Furnishings/Analogion/?sort=price Looks like the cheapest one is $325.

I would like one that is permanently fixed into the ground as opposed to one that can be moved in. And also, whenever we turn ours, it makes such a commotion.  A desk would be preferable.

None of those, not even the most expensive, have any storage space whatsoever.

For readers service at home I think the cheapest option would be to build one, or buy a simple music stand.

None of those, not even the most expensive, have any storage space whatsoever.

Is he looking for something to store books on, or just have them at an appropriate height to stand and read them?
