Planning Shifts of Collections:

Supplies and Equipment


  1. Colored paper: 5 bright colors, 1 ream each.
  2. 2800 blank mailing labels for name tags
  3. 5 sets of 5-colored markers (matching the colored paper)
  4. scotch tape, 1" wide, 30 rolls
  5. 50 black markers
  6. 1 rachet set with 9/16" socket
  7. 100 dust masks
  8. 500 dust cloths for shelving: used diapers from a diaper service worked well
  9. 2 boxes quart-sized freezer ziplock bags for putting shelving hardware in
  10. first aid supplies:
  11. 20 boxes kleenex
  12. updated floor plans
  13. lots of chocolate
  14. push pins
  15. lots of blank paper
  16. rulers, pens, pencils
  17. walkie-talkies. We got a walkie talkie for each shift supervisor. It was a GREAT idea; we used them extensively. Because there was so much metal in a library, we had to have some repeaters (or something like that) installed. We are not a wealthy library, so it probably didn't cost too much, and we're very glad we had them.
  18. clipboards for shift supervisors
  19. 3x5 cards for labelling trucks
  20. computer for making range cards (the range numbers and call number cards that go on the ends of each range)
  21. gloves (for range-erectors)
  22. rubber mallets or hammers with socks over their heads for pounding shelves onto wings
  23. safety goggles (primarily for folks attaching transverse tie struts)
  24. post-it notes
  25. boxes for moving some flimsy collections (pamphlets, etc.)
  26. yellow hazard tape (if library is open, need to keep patrons out of certain areas Put in a list of supplies/equipment
