[Publib] bookstacks on wheels

[Kelly McBride]

Hey folks! I'm starting to look at furnishings, etc for a small branch
getting renovations and a small addition. I am VERY much interested in
the mobile book stacks and other "furnishings" that are now being sold.
I saw stacks on industrial-sized wheels in Ireland more than 10 years
ago and thought "Brilliant!" for the application. (Research institute
where pretty library was used as reception/entertaining space... roll a
few 'stacks' out of the center of the floor and look at all that nice,
temporary space) 

 

Has anyone bought and used the mobile furniture? Were you satisfied? Do
you ever move them or do they just stay in situ? 

Some of the shelves appear to be deep single-sided, which seems a waste
of space for most of what our small public library branch would have.
(DVDs being small than even the average novel!)

 

Any thoughts, good or bad?

 

Many thanks as y'all are always helpful and usually entertaining!   ;-)

Pax, Kelly
