Alrighty, I have put together a solid list of supplies we will need to get things going. Most of what I am ordering are things like hanging files, an X-ACTO knife and cutting mat, Scotch tape and a dispenser, a self-inking stamp for the library), nice shears, and a bone folder. I am also ordering a bin to keep everything in to keep them easy to transport and put away so they will be less likely to wander away. These are things that we will be using throughout the library revamp - accessories and staples of any office or workplace.
The rest of the order consists of items that we will be using up and ordering more of as we run out - book covers (I am ordering one 300' roll of hardcover jacket covers and two 600' rolls of paperback covers), spine label covers, alphabet labels, shelf labels, classification spine labels, and so on. Most of these are things we'll order once and reorder after long time. The spine labels are about 250-500 per roll, so these will be for the entire collection. There's a lot in each one of these. One thing I love about this is knowing how long it will take to use them. These are supplies to make our library usable, browsable, and enjoyable.
All I need to do now is actually make a label dispenser (shouldn't be too hard to make a rectangular box) and make a dispenser for the book covers. Apparently I can purchase most of the raw materials from Home Depot and once I get those it should be a day or two of working in the garage to get everything ready!
