by BillieJo Bluemer 03 Nov '21

03 Nov '21

We have a student looking for the title of a book. The student says it is a fantasy book about a group of hunters lost in the woods who are found alive years later. He thinks the title may be similar to "The Huntsmen" but we haven't found any book with that title that fits his description. If this sounds familiar to you, please share possible titles has he really wants to read this book.

New Vinyl LP Collection
by Mick Howey 03 Nov '21

03 Nov '21

Hello Michlib-l, We here at the Baldwin Public Library are thinking about circulating Vinyl LPs and are hoping Michlib-l can help us out with a few questions. - What types of music did you start your collection with? Was it the most popular over time vinyl artists? Best sounding? Artists popular now? - How long do they circulate for? - Do you circulate turntables as well? - How do you display the LPs? - Any advice in general? I will compile the answers and post them in Michlib-l. Thank you for the help, it is much appreciated. Cheers, Mick Howey, MLIS Adult Services Librarian Baldwin Public Library 300 West Merrill Street Birmingham, MI 48009 (248) 554-4649 https://www.baldwinlib.org/
