What a difference the new bookcases the Middlesex South Registry gave us are making. When I first learned we were getting them I was a “little” excited. At the time my attitude was, if nothing else we’ll be updating some of our storage furniture. But, I must admit I cannot believe the difference…because the units are thinner they hold more books in less space… and they are much, much stronger. Last week I watched with embarrassment as the workers removed the old shelves. Some were so dilapidated I had secure them to a wall using rope. Even the installers got a kick out of seeing one shelf which I had secured with a bungee cord to an old heating/cooling duct. I am guessing that using these new cases we’ll shrink the book storage area by 50% using these units. What a pleasant surprise.
