Window/Door Sign and Flyer Holders?
by Stanczak, Cindy 18 Apr '18

18 Apr '18

Hail the Great Brain! We're struggling with our current system of signage display on our front door and windows. We currently use acrylic holders with suction cups (shown in the photo), but they are problematic. They let loose, especially in cold weather, fall, break and chip, and our patrons are somehow removing the screws that hold on the cups! We know this because the cups are missing, but we find the screws sitting nicely on the window ledge next to the door. What do you use display program flyers in your windows or on your doors? What have you tried and who do you source your holders/method through? All help greatly appreciated! Cynthia Stanczak Library Director Albion District Library 501 S. Superior St. Albion, MI 49224 (517) 629-3993 Albion District Library: Transforming Minds, Changing Lives. Proudly serving our community since 1919.
