by Kathy McKinney 05 Mar '24

05 Mar '24

Many libraries asked me to compile the responses I received about processing/circulating Tonies. I attached the responses I received. The formatting is a bit off, but the information is there. Thank you to everyone who took the time to respond to my inquiry. We are really excited to get these out to the community! Thank you!

Cell Phone Charging Cords/Stations
by Jessica Bostian 04 Mar '24

04 Mar '24

Good afternoon Michigan libraries! If anyone has experience with providing cell phone charging cords for in-house use, or one of the various cell phone charging stations/devices, I would appreciate any information you can provide me. I like the idea of having a large charging station that is all-inclusive, but the prices can be very high. Individual charging cords are much cheaper; however, and I am curious if there's an effective way to keep these items from disappearing. Thank you, and have a great weekend everyone!
