Shipping container libraries
Shipping container libraries are an affordable way to provide both adults and children
with access to decent, well-designed library facilities.
When creating a container library, we customize features to your exact specifications. For example, we can:
- add shelving units of your choice
- handle interior and exterior paintwork
- install windows and doors in configurations you choose
- install air conditioning and electrical wiring, depending on
your needs.
Once you have set up a shipping container all you have to do is fit the furniture, the shelves, chairs and tables and appropriate lighting. If you place the shipping container upon a trailer you are not even bound to a place. You don’t need to dig the foundations, or construct walls and a roof and you don’t even need to buy space if you can park your containers somewhere. All you need is a good assortment of books and a nice shipping container and there you have it – your own library in a matter of days.
