While National Library Relocations, Inc. specializes in library moving, we are pleased to offer our clients a wide range of additional services. We have a trained staff that is totally familiar with all types of classifications-Dewey, LC, NLM, SuDocs-and any type of integration or segregation can be handled with relative ease. This knowledge affords our clients peace of mind whether they have contracted with us for moving an entire library, integrating/ segregating collections, bar coding for automation, cleaning, security stripping or shelving a backlog of material. Our unique staff and blend of experience contribute to National Library Relocation's reputation as the #1 Library Mover in North America.
