Kinderbot robot repair
by SBBDL Information 27 Mar '25

27 Mar '25

Howdy! We have a Fischer-Price Code 'n Learn Kinderbot in our collection that is easily one of the most used of our kids' STEM kits. We recently noticed the left wheel is not turning anymore, so it just turns in circles to the right. I tried looking online to see if it can be repaired easily and even started to try to take the robot apart to get to the wheels but I don't have a long and narrow enough screwdriver to unscrew all the screws. TL;DR: Does anyone have a Kinderbot in their collection and experience with this? Is there any way to fix it? Many thanks in advance for you input! -- Autumn Anderson she/her Assistant Director Suttons Bay Bingham District Library PO Box 340 416 Front Street Suttons Bay, MI 49682 231-271-3512 sbbdl.org

Presenter recommendation: Rod Sadler, MI true crime author
by David Stokes 27 Mar '25

27 Mar '25

Hello there, Last night we hosted former law enforcement officer/true crime author Rod Sadler for his book *Grim Paradise: Cold Case Search for the Mackinac Island Killer*. With his background in law enforcement, Rod was a very knowledgeable and informative speaker. He was also quite entertaining and humorous at times as well--despite the subject matter. He brought in a good crowd that was definitely engaged in his presentation, so if you've not had him out to your library, I highly recommend him. He also has a new MI true crime book slated for release this May too, btw. David M. Stokes Adult Services Librarian Adult Services Dept.
