When I started the library was moved to a new room. The original library was a nice large room with plenty of room for reading and teaching classes, but there were several issues. The biggest issue, was repeated flooding. The library was also located in the basement quite a distance from all student classrooms. Although most librarians don't want flooding in the library, it ended up being a good thing, because I got a new room, much smaller, but closer to the students.
I am still in the process of moving up the non-fiction from the locked cabinets of the old library. It's a long process because the collection hasn't been weeded since perhaps 2000?
It's lots of work, but I really like being able to start from scratch. It's like a whole new lesson in being a school librarian. I also get quite a workout...I moved most of the shelves myself!
