It demanded the collaboration of more than 100 people on a daily basis, the adaptation of existing spaces and tools, and it took 235 truck drives to the SNFCC for its completion. To ensure a smooth operation for transferring the items as safely as possible, new, wheeled bookcases were custom-made in order to absorb rail vibrations and prevent the items from shifting. Permanent NLG\u2019s and external staff members, librarians, and conservationists, worked on items from the Library\u2019s general collection, in order to restore, preserve, and sort them into an RFID system. This intensive process\u00a0allowed for the safe relocation of the NLG\u2019s collection, thus for each item to be identified electronically within the online catalogue.<\/p>\n<p>NLG\u2019s relocation, which was realized thanks to the donation of the Stavros Niarchos Foundation and the auxiliary subsidy by the Greek state, marks the beginning of a new era for the NLG featuring enriched collections, updated digital services, modern applications, a new Public Library Section, and a renewed relationship with the public.<\/p>\n<p>[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row]<\/p>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>[vc_row][vc_column width=&#8221;1\/2&#8243;][vc_column_text css_animation=&#8221;fadeInLeft&#8221;]Simela Pantzartzi was born in Heidelberg, Germany.
