Kingsley Book Drop Cart Available for Sale
by Kelly Bennett 12 Jul '21

12 Jul '21

Hi all, We've got a spare Kingsley book drop cart available for sale to any library that's interested in coming to get it. It is similar to the one found at this link: https://www.kingsley.com/cushiondrop-library-book-media-transport-push-cart I've attached photos, too. Our Library Board would rather we sell it rather than give it away, so we're interested in all reasonable offers. We'll compile all the offers we receive and present them to the Board and then follow up with everyone who was interested once we get our response. Here's the measurements/specs: The total height of the bin and wheels = 39.5 inches high The bin is 26 inches on each side and is square The bin itself minus the wheels is 35 inches high It's got soft batting at the bottom, and a floating floor that moves down as more items are put in it. Works fine, we just have an extra we never use and the space that it's stored in could be used more effectively. Thanks, Kelly Bennett Head of Circulation, Ferndale Area District Library 269-932-3179 kelly(a)ferndalepubliclibrary.org
