The great unboxing begins....

Once upon a time there was a very old ugly dingy library well loved by it's customer base and it had a loyal staff that managed to make the best of the limited space available. Then a gift from the taxgods bestowed 4.2 million dollars to make this library be sumthing that might reflect the active library following as well as be a place of welcoming and enlightenment. After many months of planning, destruction, changes, relocation of books, boxing 90% of collection, toil by many trades and flexiblity of staff being sent to remote locations in the meantime while keeping a functioning mini library in place~~~ The time has now come for the great unboxing!! The 4 storage trailers that have held contents for months , boxes and boxes sum 4500 of them are now being hauled into the new space to be reshelved. Carts labeled with different dewey locations are at the ready. The staff, back HOME to this branch again is in place to help book by book, shelf by shelf, section by section, area by area, reassemble this library into it's new space. Wish us luck as we venture into this new territory.....to explore strange new worlds, to seek out new life and new civilizations, to boldly go where no one has gone before
