Move Diary: Week 1

1 Comment

We made it through week 1! Here are some sights spotted by our staff as we got down to work:

1st-cart-1st-truck-craig
The first truck of books returning home from offsite storage. We brought 9800 print items back this week.
empty-3rdfloor-reserves-amy
Our old now empty hold shelves. We miss our researchers and can’t wait to see them again in August in our new space.
josh-compact-shelving-racheli
One of our archivists, spotted through a tunnel of new compact shelving.
more-walkie-talkies-amy
Bevy of walkie-talkies. 10-4.
move-whisperer-amy
Our move coordinator/book cart whisperer channels Chris Pratt. We’re glad they’re just book trucks and not velociraptors.
frost-move-cart-paula
A little Robert Frost on the book trucks.
flagged-boxes-amy
Color coded boxes, ready to move.
rachel-removisng-stickers-liz
No detail is too small as labels were peeled off our new shelving and replaced with stickier ones.

With new super-sticky stickers, we labeled roughly 1000 bays on three different levels in the new space, ensuring every box will have a clearly labeled place to live.

Someone had a little fun with the (admittedly Carolina Blue) protective film on our new elevator.
