Here at last is the easy way to provide for future expansion to get more book storage space with no more floor space. Both diagrams above represent a room 356 sq. ft. in area. Library Bureau has devised a new four-way stack column, which can be arranged as in "A" (left) for conventional storage, or as in "B" (right), where the same area provides 69% more storage space and still allows easy access to the shelves. In both arrangements, the same number of columns in the same locations is used. Furthermore, the change can be made easily. You can convert all or any part of the floor space to compact storage and change back to conventional storage at will. Compact storage in your present stack area may be possible; we will gladly survey your facilities without obligation. What a boon for the library which grows faster than funds for a new building! You'll want full information on this new "compact storage."
