Library Moving Made Easy

Our goal is to create a stress-free/anxiety-free library move

A Misplaced Book Is a Lost Book

From orientation to completion each person that is involved in the move must understand the importance of a misplaced book. Accuracy is critical and the methodology should be simple and easy to understand. At Overton & Associates, we specialize solely in moving libraries. Bill Overton says: “a library is a different kind of customer. Each library move is unique and will have its own complications. Understanding these complications is what we do best.” We have completed all types of moves throughout the entire country. Whether it be a small public library on the west coast or a large university on the east coast, we can assist you in your moving needs.
