Hey Libraryland! Our library is in the market for some new monitors but the ones offered on Techsoup aren't really what we are looking for as far as specs. Does anyone else have a trusted vendor for computer hardware they like to use? Appreciate your help! -- 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*

StoryWalk still popular?
by Jean Fellows 21 Aug '24

21 Aug '24

Hello All: We offer two Story Walks in our community, one in a local park and one in the downtown. The books are wonderful, we add EL activities for families to do at each page stop, they look great--but we're struggling to get quantifiable response on use. The last QR survey has been out on both Story Walks since June-- with 3 responses. Without response data, the thought is we should stop doing them, if nobody in the community is using them. We promote steadily on our Events Calendar, Facebook, etc. We've tried QR codes, entering respondents for a prize drawing, and response is still pitifully small. Is Story Walk over post-Covid? Do people just hate scanning the codes? What else can we do? What are other libraries experiencing? -- Jean Fellows Programming Coordinator Grand Ledge Area District Library 131 E. Jefferson St., Grand Ledge, MI 48837 517-627-7014 *The Grand Ledge Area District Library is situated on ancestral, traditional and contemporary lands of the Anishinaabeg – Three Fires Confederacy of Ojibwe, Odawa and Potawatomi peoples-- land ceded in the 1819 Treaty of Saginaw.*
