U may want to secure them to the wall as well. Ck w/ the hardware store for what they may recommend.
you could install angle iron on the back two corners
Put a thin (1/8" masonite) back on the shelves. Nail or screw the back down the sides, across the top, and into the shelves. This will straighten the shelves in the back. If they still sag in the front add either dowels as already suggested or cut 1x4's and slide in the center of each shelf from floor to each shelf above.
