Library Shelving Advice
by CDL Director 30 Oct '17

30 Oct '17

One of our library branches that shares space in township hall, including township offices and fire hall will be moving into a new facility next Spring. This is exciting for the community; however the price of new shelves is not affordable for the library budget. Does anyone have information for a type of commercial liquidating company that may have a large inventory of used library or bookstore shelves? Or are there any libraries planning on renovating a large area, or building a new facility and selling shelves? We would like to have the shelving match as much as possible. The new library space is around 800 square feet and we likely would need more wall units and a few free standing shelves. We still need to configure where furniture will go based on the space we have been given, but would like to look at our options sooner that later. Please email me any information off list. Thank you, Jami Cromley Director Community District Library www.mycdl.org 989.743.3287 <(989)%20743-3287>
