Prepare the Unpacking Location
You will need 10 feet of access at the front and back of the crate to safely unpack the
library. Once the library is out of the crate, you will need to move the library to a work
space where you have access to all four sides. Make sure that you have this area
prepared before you remove the library from the crate.
