If you love books, you probably have a fairly large area of your home devoted to books.  If you live in a large enough home, you may even have a room devoted to reading, with shelves of books lining the room.  If you are like us, in a smaller home, you have a good-sized shelf filled with books.  Though books are relatively easy to pack because they are flat, and similar in shape, the thought of moving them can seem overwhelming…it’s easy to want to sacrifice them, but this shouldn’t be necessary.  Next thing you want to consider, especially in the present economy, is how to save money when you move.  You may want to consider truck rentals that allow you to pack your books yourself so you can give them the tender loving care they need. Usually these services save you money if you are able to do the packing, or able to get help doing the packing, into containers that can hold the contents of a room or an apartment. There are companies that will just charge you for the space you use on the truck as opposed to charging you for the use of a whole truck even if you only need a small part of the truck. Do your research, and dream about how nice it’s going to be to bring your books, which have become like old friends, along with you to your new home, where they will bring warmth and a comfort in your new location that only a lover of books can understand.
