[OPEN-ILS-GENERAL] Floor Plan - Map - Drawing Software

[Benjamin Kalish]

I'm working on that right now! I've only done it for a few shelving
locations so far. They are linked from
https://forbeslibrary.org/help/find-books/shelving-locations/

If other folks at my library like these I will do more of them and we will
link them from that catalog.
