Clarification regarding large-format printer for StoryWalk project
by Heather Harrison 10 Nov '22

10 Nov '22

Just for clarification: I will not be printing the books/stories themselves, but rather using the large-format printer to print footers for display pages, as well as Intro and Ending display pages. Thanks! I'm in the process of planning a StoryWalk(r) for our district and I'm looking at the possibility of a large-format printer for this purpose. I'm curious if anyone has experience and suggestions on a brand/model of large-format printer that works well and is relatively easy to use. I need one that can accommodate 18x24 inch rolls of paper. How often do you need to change your ink cartridges, as I will likely have at least two StoryWalk(r) locations and potentially three in the future. Do you use the printer for projects other than Story Walks, posters, banners? We were thinking of using it to create large coloring sheets for group coloring. Thanks, Heather Heather Harrison Youth Services Librarian Genesee District Library 4195 W Pasadena Ave., Flint, MI 48504 810-230-3332 hharrison(a)thegdl.org

Library of Things Ideas?
by Chantell J Graves 10 Nov '22

10 Nov '22

Hello, Library Land! Alma College is considering adding a "Library of Things" to our collection, and we're looking for some input from other small academic libraries. What items/objects have been of use to your students, faculty, or staff? Any other input is appreciated as well, such as budgeting, staffing, workflow, organization/shelving, etc... For those of you wondering what the heck I'm talking about... a library of things is a collection of items that typically fit into categories like hobbies, technology, outdoor activities, games, teaching materials, STEM kits, and much more! Thanks for all you do, [alma college logo bw] Chantell Graves, B.S. Ed. (she/her) Library Services Coordinator | Alma College Library Alma College, 614 W.
