The big sort-out began at 9am when 16 staff turned up for work. Half worked in the County library preparing stock, the rest worked at Barry library packing up.
A decision was needed on everything in Barry library, every pen, file, piece of paper, cardboard box, desk tidy and item of equipment. Staff emptied desks and drawers, filing cabinets, shelves and lockers. Anything to keep was put in a crate. 600 crates arrived at 10am. As they were used, all crates were colour coded and tagged with the number of the room they are destined for in the new library. Anything to stay was bagged for rubbish or recycling and pushed down on trolleys to the squash court. IT equipment also went down to the squash court store to be used elsewhere.
Shelves were tagged ready for the books to be crated tomorrow. Furniture was tagged with the room number it will be moved to on Monday.
All this was hard work but very satisfying. We made good use of the music CD collection while we worked, Diana Ross and Bob Marley being particular favourites.
