Good morning! Thank you so much for your suggestions, they do help. It is wonderful to find support in others who have gone through the same things in planning and developing a church library. Looking forward to gathering more insightful information. God bless you! Through Him Only!
We had 2 men in our church build bookcases for us out of good lumber, stain them and install them to fit perfectly in our area.As Denise said they cost a whole lot less and you can get exactly what you want and need.
We have not been happy with the shelving we have purchased in the past because they tend to be too deep and very costly. Recently, we received a donation and wanted to use the money wisely, so we asked a gentleman in our church to make them for us. Not only did it cost a third as much for materials, but he also measured the corner and end caps already there, so the bookcases are actually built to fit the space we have.

Where is this person located?
Although often unsuccessful, a search of surplus sales at universities, county and state surplus sites can often be helpful.
use terms like; used shelving, bookcases, etc.
Often your county library system will have surplus they are trying to get rid of.
