Bookstand wrecked by angered kids (7,4)

I believe the answer is:

reading desk

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'bookstand' is the definition.
Both the answer and definition are singular nouns.
Perhaps there's a link between them I don't understand?

'wrecked by angered kids' is the wordplay.
'wrecked by' is an anagram indicator.
'angered'+'kids'='angeredkids'
'angeredkids' anagrammed gives 'READING-DESK'.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Another definition for reading desk that I've seen is " Lectern".)

I've seen this clue in The Globe and Mail.
