Relocating to a new residence entails a number of tasks. For sure, most of your time will be concentrated on packing your electronics, furniture and clothes. But before you consume all your available time into packing these important possessions, make sure to allot some precious time into packing your valuable books, too.
Owning physical books isn't popular nowadays. However, the ones that took up one wall section of your library were purchased a while back. Before the Internet became a home to all research materials available in the planet and prior to contemporary and classic books making their way into e-book formats, you already possessed a great collection of physical books.
Packing up a sizable library of books is a heavy and tedious chore. Thus, below are some of the best tips you can follow to pack your books.
Old books can be quite fragile. If these are something that's part of your treasured library, you definitely want them to be in great condition when you get to your new home. To safely move them, consult your movers ahead of time if they have special boxes where you can store these things. Preferably, the boxes should be lined with waterproof material to protect the books from any moisture or possible water damage. Ask also for recommendations from your movers if they have certain packing techniques for old books and fragile texts.
Aside from serious old books, your collection may also include contemporary novels and softbound thrillers. If you have a good number of them, bear in mind that books are heavy and they can take up a lot of space. When you are relocating, you may consider donating or selling a few books which you already have a copy in your e-book library. This can help lighten your load and free up more space into your new abode.
However, if you can't let go of your precious book collection, then you might as well pack them appropriately. As mentioned above, books can be quite heavy so it's important to choose sturdy boxes in the first place. Make sure that you pack all your thick, hardbound books into small cartons while slim and light soft-bounds can be put together into medium-sized boxes. Never put your books into one large box as it will be difficult for your movers to carry them around.
Another tip that would make it easy for you to unload and arrange your books into your new home library is to have them sorted as you pack. You can stack them up according to author, subject, genre or value and have them further sorted alphabetically. Properly label the boxes so you and your moving crew can quickly identify the contents.
