[aisle] Moving Books for New Carpet

[Karyn Nadler]

We had a company come in and box them, of course when they box them, and
then put them back on the shelf, they are backwards and too many per shelf.
It is much easier to fix a shelf than the whole library. All of it is TIME
CONSUMING. If you are stacking boxes make sure they are not stacked high,
as the weight of the boxes of books on top  will ruin the spines of the
books on the bottom.
Also, if you are setting up the library the same way, take pictures and
measurements of where things were. Our crew tried putting our easy book
shelves in the back of the library, and backwards.

New carpeting is exciting 👍
