[ISLMA-Share] Packing a Library

[Email list for the Illinois School Library Media Association]

I did this last summer, and I labeled each box by section, like Fiction Box
1 of 48 so when I had "help" unpacking, it was easier to arrange the boxes
in order. I also took pictures of everything before packing and I made a
list of all the sections and boxes. I did one shelf per box in a row so we
could literally just grab them out of the box and set them on the shelf.
Good luck!
