Our library was renovated in 1998. The best advice I got from a safran, was to rent movable shelves/carts to put all the books on instead of packing them into boxes. That way, you can kind of keep your materials in order; and, if it's possible/desirable, your collection can be accessible during the renovation. We rented from http://www.caseyhayes.com/Equipment.htm in Boston.

Are there other synagogue librarians who have been through this? I would like to hear about your experiences. What did you do with your book collection while the renovation was taking place? We have a collection of about 15,000. I am working closely with the architect and our planning committee, but would appreciate hearing about the experiences of other synagogue librarians.
