Move Diary: Week 1

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

The first truck of books returning home from offsite storage. We brought 9800 print items back this week.

Our old now empty hold shelves. We miss our researchers and can’t wait to see them again in August in our new space.

One of our archivists, spotted through a tunnel of new compact shelving.

Bevy of walkie-talkies. 10-4.

Our move coordinator/book cart whisperer channels Chris Pratt. We’re glad they’re just book trucks and not velociraptors.

A little Robert Frost on the book trucks.

Color coded boxes, ready to move.

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.
