Spine label maker?
by Kristin Abate 09 Apr '24

09 Apr '24

Hi all, Excuse any cross posts, I asked TLN a couple of weeks ago and only got a few responses. I am interested to know what everyone uses to make spine labels? And the vendor you use? We currently use K-Sun Pear Label 270. We have had these 8+ years and we really like the ease(we use a template in Word), quality and style in making labels. We are only looking to upgrade/replace because I’m not sure how much time we have left on these machines and I want to be prepared. Here is a link for what we currently use https://www.amazon.com/K-Sun-PEARLabel-2270PCM-Label-Printer/dp/B00GRK2SYI/… And what they look like on the books - [image: IMG_0593] Thanks for your help, Kristin [image: Description: Description: Description: Description: Description: Description: Description: Description: Description: Description: New Logo 1 inch rgb for web]*Kristin Abate*| Support Services Supervisor – Tech Services (she/her/hers) Novi Public Library |45255 West Ten Mile Road | Novi, MI 48375 Phone 248-869-7221|Fax 248-344-2007 www.novilibrary.org *Inform.

Hi All, We are in need of a decent door counter. We got a cheap one off Amazon and have been using that, but it only made it a month and is having problems, which makes me thinks that we need something a little nicer. Do any of you have one that you really like, or a company that you use and trust? Thanks, Melissa Adkins (she/her) Director Ecorse Public Library 4184 W. Jefferson Ave. Ecorse, MI 48229 313-389-2030 madkins(a)ecorse.lib.mi.us
