LibraryLifters (a division of NLI Inc.)
Carpet tile installation
With over 30 years of experience, our team has specialized in moving loaded library shelving and completing flooring projects in active facilities across the continental United States. The people shown in this video are the same trained professionals who perform the work on site—an experienced, consistent crew familiar with the equipment, safety procedures, and care required for library collections. Our long history in this niche field allows projects to be completed efficiently and reliably, regardless of location.
Mission
This time-lapse shows the coordinated process of moving loaded shelving, installing new carpet tile, and returning stacks to their original positions within the same area. By working in controlled sections, flooring can be replaced without emptying shelves, allowing collections to remain organized and accessible. The sequence highlights how careful planning, specialized equipment, and precise placement help complete the work efficiently while minimizing disruption to daily library operations.
