This publication describes the Andrew Heiskell Library for the Blind and Physically Handicapped, a regional library for the National Library Service (NLS) example of the creative use of physical space and innovative technology. The publication focuses on the materials-handling system designed for the new facility, including system design objectives; before and after descriptions of how loading-dock and turnaround area operations work; and descriptions of materials-handling components, including tow line, scissors lifts, conveyor system, horizontal carousels and rewinding operations and machines. A preliminary planning chart showing service aspects to be considered, a chart of the first-floor layout of loading dock operations and equipment that moves materials throughout the building, and a chart of the layout of turn-around operations accompany the description. Background on the library's history and funding and a summary of renovation or building projects undertaken by 21 other NLS regional libraries over the past several years are also presented. (KRN)
