[CASL-L] Carpet

[Angela Antonelli]

We had our carpet replaced - our shelves are not on wheels either. They
actually installed the carpet around the existing shelves (the carpet type
they installed comes in plank-style strips).

That being said, when we rearranged our shelves many years ago I tried to
do it with helpers - there are no words to describe how time-consuming it
was. Our district generously agreed to hire a company that is in the
business of moving libraries (not sure of the name), and they came in and
knocked it out quickly. If you go that route, label everything VERY
clearly. They did a good job, but there was a decent amount of "fixing"
involved after the move. Overall, it was an incredible time-saver.

Best of luck!!
