free security gates
by Tonya Ryals 26 Apr '23

26 Apr '23

Hi all, It's time that these gates find a new home. It's a single lane RFID gate. To the best of my knowledge, the gate is still operational. It was only removed because we have a double door entryway. This is for pick up only as I would not be able to fit this in my vehicle. Cheers, Tonya [image: 20230227_153201.jpg] [image: 20230227_153155.jpg] -- *Tonya Ryals* she/her;they/them *Director* MacDonald Public Library 36480 Main St, New Baltimore, MI 48047 (586) 725-0273
