[Genealib] Packing Library

[Dlunow at aol.com]

Office depot and Office Max are great about giving us 1/2 case size boxes 
(the box that 1/2 case of paper come in).

It is sturdy, and PERFECT for lifting and stacking. Just remember to MARK the 
outside with contents.... Like state, general reference ... etc.

Having the box contents marked will make the move back in easier. By the way. 
Each box holds about 18" to 20" of books. So you can estimate about how many 
shelves you need for each subject.

As to storage, if these might be stored where there will be insects. TAPE all 
openings. Tape is cheap compared to books.

Try NOT to store the boxes on a concrete floor. Pallets are good... Concrete 
holds humidity and might mold the books.

Remember the most important thing is DON'T stress.
