Project 1 to bring the Education collection to the Central Library has started well. The first truck load will be unpacked this afternoon. It has LC items for levels 11 and 10, 3 crates of High Demand and some of the Junior Fiction. The shelving company arrived a day early so they have dismantled some of the shelving and already moved it to Central. The floorplan is still to be confirmed before the units can be shelved. Joan

Please note that the detective fiction collection is now on Level 7 at the far end. The floor plans will not be updated until all of the moves have been completed. The catalogue is up to date and there is signage on Level 4. Joan

Please read the linked document if you would like to know more about the work being completed on the 4 collection move projects.
