The Aarhus Library sorts 1.7 million items each year with a 50-bin sorter configured with stacking carts for material that stays at Main and totes (stackable up to 3 high) of material for distribution to other libraries. Requires only 1-3 people to staff it (lots more to do shelving). Oh, and the library is amazing (Google Dokk1)
