Processing Books for Storage at the Book Depository

Trucks full of flagged books await processing.
The  WVU Physical Plant custom built the rolling book trucks with removable sides.
The rolling book trucks are unloaded and vacuumed at the cleaning station.  Archival books will be wrapped in acid-free paper for preservation and any book repairs made as well.  
Removing flags and initial cleaning.
