Replacing the shelves that books are displayed on in the Mineral County Library may not be exciting, unless you work there and can see the upcoming benefits.
The current shelving was made and maintained by volunteers over the years and at close inspection, they look solid. And they are. So solid that they are being sold in sections to be reused for storge needs in homes or businesses.
“They are wonderful for all of the amount of work so many have helped with over the years,” explains Deb Kelsey, Library Assistant 1 and overseeing this exchange. “But these are all matching and fit snuggly with one another giving us optimal space to display. Right now, we have six-inch gaps and have to lay some books on their sides so this upgrade will make it easier on the staff for returning them and better for the people to see the titles.”
