We are looking into participating in the Wear One campaign put on by our County health department to encourage residents to use condoms to prevent STDs.

Our Library Board has asked if there are any other public libraries participating in similar endeavors. Please share your experiences. Erin Schmändt Director Caro Area District Library 840 W.

chromebooks in the library
by Lise Mitchell 17 Dec '18

17 Dec '18

Hi, Looking for recommendations/advice from libraries that have chromebooks in the library for in-house use. Which vendor did you work with? Did you consider working with PCM-G? What policies did you establish for the laptops? Do you check out to juveniles? How were the laptops setup? Are they managed by in-house staff or through a service contract? Any tips for getting started? thanks, lise -- Lise Mitchell, Director Grand Ledge Area District Library 131 E.
