Good Afternoon, We have recently replaced our Brother Fax-4750e fax machine with a newer model. However, this fax is still in good working condition and free to a good home. We will either send it through Rides or if you are close by, you are more than welcome to pick it up.

Posting - Full-time Head of Information Technology - Clinton-Macomb Public Library
by Larry Neal 30 Oct '15

30 Oct '15

The Clinton-Macomb Public Library, an independent library district in suburban Detroit, has an incredible opportunity for a new Head of Information Technology to take the lead on an ambitious plan to fully upgrade the library's technology infrastructure and more over the next two years. With the passage of an additional, dedicated tax levy in 2014 the library's financial position is sound, and we are seeking to become an innovator in our field. The successful candidate will live and breathe technology but always remember that its purpose is to enrich and empower people. We are looking for an excellent communicator and collaborator with a strong focus on customer service to join our team of 145 in delivering outstanding, forward-thinking library service to over 170,000 residents. For more details please visit: http://www.cmpl.org/AboutUs/Employment.asp For more information about Clinton Township and Macomb Township, Michigan, the partner communities that formed our district, visit http://www.makemacombyourhome.com/#!communities/ci1k.

Answers to my question, "amazon Prime - do you subscribe?
by aldenlib＠torchlake.com 30 Oct '15

Thanks for the quick responses, guys and gals. Of 11 that emailed me in the first hour: 2 suggest instead of Prime, I open a business account with free 2-day shipping (I found out from amazon that you need a minimum $49 order for free 2-day shipping though). 4 pay for a Prime account ($99 a year), and made comments that it's a reasonable price for the service, and getting new videos cheaply on their release dates, for example (I'm going to use that one!). Executive decision was also mentioned. 1 has her personal Prime account linked to the library's business account, so she gets free shipping both places and has two payment options at checkout; an amazon rep suggested it. 3 have regular accounts without Prime and group their purchases for free shipping over $35 (there are some exceptions), but it often takes more than 2 days to receive the items 1 is wondering about Prime as well and will be reading this. Thanks again! Sue Riegler, Director Alden District Library

amazon Prime - do you subscribe?
by aldenlib＠torchlake.com 30 Oct '15

30 Oct '15

Greetings, After a 30-day trial of amazon Prime, I'm loving the free shipping on most items without the minimum order dollar amount and am thinking of springing for the annual $100 fee to keep it. Do any of you who work for a small or rural library use amazon Prime, and how do you justify it? I am probably being a wimp, considering we have $13,000 for print and $3,000 A/V in our budget, and $100 a year for shipping would be proportional. Thanks, Sue Riegler, Director Alden District Library
