Library Moves and Relocation

Providing the Finest in Library Move Services

Library Moves

Library collections, by their nature, are optimally organized and arranged for efficient location. A misplaced or misfiled item can hinder the overall operation. As a result, the move of a library collection is unlike any other relocation. Without strict adherence to the overall organizational structure of the collection during the packing, transportation, and unpacking process, there’s an increased chance of patrons being unable to find information when the move is complete. Therefore, library relocations have little room for error.

Experienced Collection Relocation

Michigan Office Movers eliminates this risk by providing a detailed process for the transfer of library collections informed by years of experience. Throughout the years we’ve executed successful library relocations for the following entities in Southern Michigan:

  • public institutions
  • universities
  • schools
  • government agencies
  • research facilities
  • private collectors
  • law firms
