Material Maintenance On The Move

A major role of the public library system is to deliver access and opportunity to its members. This requires librarians and administrators to create considerable space for existing resources and future technological advancements. One way these individuals can achieve this goal, is by partnering with an experienced storage provider who can offer the systems and expertise required to deliver lasting value.

A satisfied customer due to the proven Spacesaver storage solutions in several of its other county libraries, administrators in Pima County, Arizona made sure to reach out to their local Spacesaver representative when looking for a partner to outfit its newly constructed library in Sahuarita.

Knowing there was a heightened demand for visibility for patrons and adaptability for staff to conduct maintenance operations, their local Spacesaver representative – Jackie Rohn of Interior Solutions – equipped the space with Flexible Shelving. With these low-profile, high-capacity shelving units in place, librarians could not only offer in-demand resources within eyesight and reach of their patrons, but also could easily relocate the collections fully intact when it came time to replace carpet or carry out other routine maintenance tasks.

The project utilized an Arizona state contract, which was instrumental in helping the library secure the units. Upon installation and use, the library is finding not only that maintenance is much easier, but also that they can provide a higher degree of flexibility in programming space for the day’s needs and patrons’ demands.

Displaying How Safe Visible Storage Can Be

Having the support and acknowledgment of your community can be an extremely powerful thing for an organization, especially one geared toward sharing the items that represent the history of said community. However – as the Vermont Historical Society realized – with a larger amount of visitors, comes a greater risk for damage and theft. Wanting to still provide visibility for its patrons while at the same time ensuring security for the priceless artifacts in its collection, they reached out to their local Spacesaver representative at Donnegan Systems, Glenn Underwood.

The result was a combination of drawers, shelves, art racks, and a whole lot of locking glass, all designed to keep collections in sight and theft and damage never to be seen again. Repurposing an underutilized storage space that was best described as a catch-all closet, Glenn and his team turned the space into a must-see attraction for patrons of all ages. Now, visitors can get an up-close-and-personal perspective of each displayed item, and never the two shall touch.
