[ISLMA-Share] Packing a Library

[Email list for the Illinois School Library Media Association]

I used one type of box per section - paper boxes for non-fiction;
Scholastic-type boxes for fiction; crates for young adult (it's a small
section). This was a life saver for stacking & quick identification later.
Label 1 of 52, 2 of 52 etc on *two sides* of each box. Top also if you have
the time.
Good luck!
