Shelving Donation from Jenison Library
Volunteers from the Addison Township Library recently traveled to Jenison MI to claim some donated shelving from the Georgetown Township Public Library located in Jenison MI. Georgetown Library recently completed the construction of their new library and this shelving was redundant.
Our volunteers were greeted with help and support from several local Boy Scout Troops who were contacted ahead of time by our local volunteers. They were asked for assistance disassembling the shelving and loading it into the rental truck. The Scouts earned service time. Pizza and pop was served to all the volunteers.
All the helping hands made quick work of the disassembly and loading. In less than 4 hours several hundred feet of 7 foot, 5 foot, and 4 foot tall double shelving units were disassembled and loaded into the truck for travel back to Addison Township for storage at “Stor Your Stuf” in Lakeville. Additionally, there was also some media shelving, rolling media cabinets and maps storage file cabinets donated to our Library. Volunteers on this end helped unload the truck and load the shelving into the storage unit.
