Helping Libraries Renovate Without Emptying the Shelves

Thank you to everyone who visited Library Lifters at ALA 2026 in Chicago.

For more than 30 years, Library Lifters has helped public, academic, school, and special libraries complete flooring and renovation projects without the costly disruption of unloading and boxing collections.

Throughout the conference, we demonstrated how our specialized lift-and-shift system safely raises and moves fully loaded library stacks, allowing carpet, LVT, and other flooring to be installed while books remain in order.

What We Shared

• Library stack moving

• Carpet replacement beneath loaded stacks

• ADA aisle widening and space reconfiguration

• Shelving relocation

• Phased renovation planning

• Stack moving services for libraries using their own flooring contractor

Thank You for Visiting Us at ALA 2026

We enjoyed meeting library directors, facilities managers, architects, designers, and flooring professionals from across North America. We appreciated the opportunity to discuss upcoming renovation projects and demonstrate how our process helps libraries reduce labor costs, minimize downtime, and keep collections accessible throughout construction.

If we met during the conference and you're planning a flooring replacement, renovation, ADA upgrade, or collection reconfiguration in 2026, 2027, or beyond, we'd love to continue the conversation.

Please contact us to discuss your project or request a no-obligation consultation.
