Coordinating Delivery and Installation
You’ve just submitted all your purchase orders. Now is the time to start planning for delivery and installation.It is the librarian’s job to devise a plan for the removal or disposal of the old furniture and shelving as well as the removal and re-shelving of the existing collection onto the new shelving, if purchased.
Tips for Success
Create a timeline and designate staff or volunteers to help with this process, as it can be time intensive.
Consider how to organize and label materials during the move to make re-shelving more efficient.
What to Consider
Determine if any items not being reused will be stored, sold, donated, or discarded. Check with local organizations or recycling centers for options.
Optional
The shelving vendor can be independently contracted with (by the Library) to help move or remove existing shelving as well as the existing collection.
