The Books Have Left the Building!

This week our book collection was carefully packed and moved to a climate-controlled storage space, thanks to Naglee Movers from Elmira.
The shelves were numbered.






The books were carefully loaded onto book trucks.
Labels were checked and double-checked.
Each book truck gets wrapped in plastic.
Then the books are loaded onto trucks.
Once one truck is loaded, a second takes its place.
The first goes to the warehouse to be unloaded and then returns.


And in less than three days, we've gone from this:
To this!


Wow!  But don't worry, our books will be back.  The professional crew from Naglee will return them to our renovated space in January 2015, where they will be shelved on compact shelving.  Until then, ask a librarian about our ebook collection, or let us help you get materials from other libraries via interlibrary loan.
