Greetings, friends! Just wondering: We've been using Popular Subscription Service for all of our magazine subscriptions since they were chiseled in stone and I'm thinking of switching to something more cost effective. Is anyone using Amazon's Magazine Manager, per chance? Are there others you would recommend, instead? Thanks in advance for any feedback! -Sharon -- Sharon Crotser-Toy Director *Watervliet District Library* 333 N.

Good Afternoon Everyone, The Public Libraries of Saginaw - Wickes Branch has 2 beautiful book spinners that need a new home. They are in great condition, just too big for our space. They are free to the first person who can pick them up. They need to be gone by August 21, 2017. Please let me know if you know of a library or school who would be interested in one or both of them.
