Movable shelving, when you need it to be.

Concealed casters mean seemingly stationary shelving is easily moved to quickly create space.

Flexibility is key to a space’s versatility — that’s why a library’s stationary shelving doesn’t總是haveto be stationary. Heavy-duty concealed casters (wheels) are available for all shelving units to turn these already versatile library shelves into mobile carts, meaning your library’s space is completely reconfigurable on the fly by staff. This provides ample room for activity in兒童領域, when the library is holding an event.

現代圖書館存儲與曆史建築結合
at St. Louis Public Library

When the聖路易斯公共圖書館opened in 1912, a structural shelving system for “the stacks”—considered a major engineering feat of its time, was seven floors high, stretching up from the basement level. Eventually, this structure of steel, metal, and glass started to create safety and spatial limitations for the library—and for that reason, planners chose to replace the outdated and hazardous system.

Working with the library’s architecture firm and planning team, we assisted in replacing the stacks with three mezzanine levels ofhigh-density mobile shelving。係統之間的通道數目減少shelves—and now, bookcases simply roll together and aisles open and close as needed. Because of the compact mobile shelving systems, seven floors of books could now be stored in three—and new functional spaces within the library, including a café, meeting rooms, study areas, technology rooms, and an atrium—were able to be created in the building’s existing footprint.

Hear it from the University of Illinois at Chicago library staff:

The installation team was great — they were always here when they said they would be, were communicative about schedules and work, and cheerfully did any minor tasks we asked them to do. We completely trusted them to come and go in the department with the Library’s most valuable materials. The collection movers, too, worked quickly and handled our materials with care. Somehow the movers were able to phase the work so we didn’t have a traffic jam of carts in the department.
