Heading to ALA Annual 2026? Visit Library Lifters at Booth 2248
The library world is constantly evolving. From creating collaborative spaces and modern learning environments to updating flooring, furniture, and technology, libraries are investing in improvements that better serve their communities.
One challenge remains consistent throughout nearly every renovation project:
What do you do with thousands of books and heavy shelving systems while construction is taking place?
That's where Library Lifters comes in.
For more than 30 years, Library Lifters has helped libraries across the United States complete carpet replacement, painting, flooring upgrades, ADA improvements, and facility renovations without removing books from shelves or disrupting collection organization.
Keeping Libraries Moving During Renovation
Our specialized lift-and-shift process allows loaded library shelving to be safely lifted, relocated, and returned to its original position while books remain on the shelves and in order.
This approach helps libraries:
Reduce project timelines
Minimize staff labor
Eliminate book packing and unpacking
Protect collection organization
Reduce disruption to patrons
Complete renovations more efficiently
Whether your project involves a single room or an entire library system, our experienced crews provide the planning, equipment, and expertise needed to keep your project moving.
More Than Shelf Moving
In addition to our library stack relocation services, we assist libraries with:
Carpet replacement projects
Flooring renovations
ADA aisle widening and reconfiguration
Shelving layout changes
Furniture relocation
Renovation planning and budgeting assistance
We frequently partner with architects, flooring contractors, facility managers, and library administrators to develop practical solutions that save both time and money.
