Hi Michael,

We moved cases across campus, using movers. Not as far, but it still
means getting them out of one building, onto trucks, and into the
next building. We had no problems: the movers were great.  Get
references from other libraries who have used your movers to be sure
they're up to the task.

Good luck! - Cynthia
