Let me extend my welcome to ‘Scanning our Horizon’

Libraries and cultural heritage organizations are always looking for new and innovative solutions to everyday problems. This innovative solution came across my screen this morning. The American Alpine Club Library (Golden, Colorado) http://www.americanalpineclub.org/americanalpineclublibrary was looking for alternatives to costly compact framed art storage. The Library constructed a system made of dog kennel fencing for under $5000 that houses 200 items.
