How to Organize Several Different Sizes of Clothes and a Book Collection on a Limited Budget

Hi! I am in my late 50's and have always gone up and down in weight. I have MS and go through several week periods where I am too tired to maintain household chores so things get really bad.

I have clothes in many sizes and some are very nice. I can not afford to buy new clothes often so I would like to save the really good ones, but this still leaves my closet too crowded.Any good ideas for storing them?

I also have tons of books and many bookcases but they are on different floors and I can't always walk up and down stairs.

I have a very limited budget. Thanks!
