Hello, We also use ICHAT, but they don't charge us since we're a library. See the page, _How to register as an Agency in the new ICHAT system, _https://apps.michigan.gov/Home/ViewHelpTutorialPDFDoc on their website. --- _Susan Riegler_ Susan Riegler, Director Alden District Library 231/331-4318 Date: Fri, 1 Nov 2024 12:07:38 -0400 From: John Sheridan <jsheridanwbdlibrary(a)gmail.com> To: Perri Saunders <p.saunders(a)woodlands.lib.mi.us> Cc: michlib-l <michlib-l(a)mcls.org> Subject: Re: [Michlib-l] background checks Message-ID: <CANA6qE7DW+f5NiaOK_mehjKtU-kZNgFVG6p_rNb0nhDQ5Ntf0w(a)mail.gmail.com> Content-Type: text/plain; charset="utf-8" At West Branch we use IChat.

Sticker swag
by Laura Dorgelo 04 Nov '24

04 Nov '24

Hello Library Land, We're adding to our library swag collection after letting it dwindle, and we want to add vinyl stickers. I tested some that came on a big sheet which look nice, but we have to hand cut them out which is proving to be very monotonous. We would like lots of options for placing our designs, but maybe find a company with pre-cutting options. Does anyone have any suggestions for a company? Thanks so much!

In Need of Audiobook Cases

04 Nov '24

If anybody has any empty cases for audiobooks we could use some here! We're at zv215 if you do, thanks! -- Sarah Genereaux-Maddox MLIS Marion Public Library Director 120 E Main St, Marion, MI 49665 (231) 743-2421 Have a wonderful day! *"**Fairy tales do not give the child his first idea of bogey. What fairy tales give the child is his first clear idea of the possible defeat of bogey. The baby has known the dragon intimately ever since he had an imagination. What the fairy tale provides for him is a St. George to kill the dragon." - G.K. Chesterton*
