Instructor Fees
by Carrie Frazer 05 Mar '19

05 Mar '19

We are looking for input on payment of per person fees for classes held at the library but lead by outside instructors. What are the pros and cons of the library paying the per person cost or requiring class members to pay the fee? Is there a difference in this decision if the instructor approaches the library verses if the library approaches the instructor? -- Carrie Frazer Youth Service Librarian Bath Township Public Library 517.641.7111 www.bathtownshippubliclibrary.org

Roomba for business?
by Andrea Ingmire 04 Mar '19

04 Mar '19

Anyone using Roomba commercial vacuums in your library? Or any other robot type of vacuum cleaners... Wondering about capacity of cleaners, how well they hold up over time, and if they really save staff time on vacuuming? We're looking for something to just take the edge off the vacuuming work load. We have new carpet and want to keep it in tip-top shape and it seems that there just isn't enough staff time to keep up... Any advice to share? ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ *Andrea IngmireLibrary DirectorPeter White Public Library* (906) 226-4303 (office) (906) 250-0080 (cell) (906) 226-1783 (fax) *http://pwpl.info/ <http://pwpl.info/>* **to ensure I am receiving your emails, please discontinue the use of aing(a)pwpl.info**
