[ISLMA-Share] Packing a Library

[Email list for the Illinois School Library Media Association]

   - Number boxes 1 of 20, 2 of 20, 3 of 20.
   - Pack boxes in reverse order by bay or shelf so unpacking is easier.
   - Use recycle paper balled up to hold books in place in boxes so they
   don't shift.  (We had a snowball party with life skills students to help do
   this task.)
   - Use different colored paper for different sections, i.e. pink =
   nonfiction, green = fiction, etc.
   - Label shelves so the exact shelf is put back in it's exact place. (I
   had 4 reference shelves put back in the wrong spot and it was a lot of
   resizing shelves to get books to fit.)  Maybe even draw a map.


(Most of this was done by my predecessor and I am so glad she took time to
do this so detailed, as she packed it, and I unpacked it.)
