   In anticipation of relocating the Charlestown holdings, Mr. Gunars Rutkovskis reported that the Library has conducted a study of the various contents and it has been determined that there are 18,000 shelves needed to be packed and re-shelved, 8,000 cartons that have to be prepared and un-packed, and 40,000 volumes of newspapers that have to be relocated and re-shelved noting that the Charlestown Building serves as a major newspaper depository for the Library.
   
   To further that end, Mr. Rutkovskis anticipates that the materials relocation effort from Charlestown to Norwood would require a staffing complement of nine employees including a Supervisor for a period of nine months and would cost an estimated $185,000.
