Sock monkey mural: free to good home
by Katrina Rogers 17 Sep '26

17 Sep '26

Hi, We're redoing our children's area, and no longer have space for a large mural featuring sock monkeys. It's 4 wall panels, each 7' 11" tall. Three of them are 4' wide, and one is 3' 11" wide. They're free to the first person who responds, but you'll need to arrange transportation. I can send pictures to anyone who's interested.

Fellow Catalogers and Material Processers, What are your methods for labeling your Library Binding books. We recently bought a lot of these. In the past I have not had any luck with the clear labels staying on these books. What do you use? Would love your suggestions! Thank you! 🙂 Zac Larson Pronouns: He/Him Assistant Director Crawford County Library Devereaux Memorial Library 201 Plum Street[http://www.crawfordco.lib.mi.us/dnn/portals/0/devsm.jpg] Grayling, Michigan 49738 Phone: 989-348-9214 Ext. 203 Fax: 989-348-9294 [cid:b75a5a5e-05c0-4748-bdc1-72687739dbeb]
