Any kind of light can have a fading effect on fabric, including indirect sunlight. Some dyes are more stable than others; I think some purples are among the least stable. Even flourescent lighting fades fabric. While your setup is better than direct exposure, if you really want to protect your fabrics from edge fading you need to cover the bookcase in some way.
