NRR website
by Rebecca Higgerson 11 Nov '19

11 Nov '19

I’d like to give a shout out to Roseville Public Library and Hamburg Twp. Library for their recommendations for A/V Equipment!! We needed a few more bids for technology in our Community Room, so I searched the https://nrr.ninja/ website and found two recommendations. We selected one of their vendors. Please remember to add your *No Reservation Recommendations* so that other libraries may have the same positive outcome that your library experienced. Peruse all of the categories and maybe that will remind you of some of the companies with whom you’ve worked and you can add to the growing database. Also, make sure you use the website when you are looking for new, great vendors. Thanks again Roseville and Hamburg Twp!!! P.S. To all of the Cooperative Directors, please share this email with your directors and encourage them to participate. If we don’t grow or use it, it will become irrelevant. Thanks! *Rebecca Higgerson* Director Brandon Twp Public Library 304 South Street Ortonville MI 48462 248-627-1474 *ENGAGE **•** EDUCATE **•** ENRICH **•** EMPOWER*

nut-free libraries
by Melissa Malcolm 11 Nov '19

11 Nov '19

Hi all-- Happy snowy Monday! The library had a complaint on Saturday about our not being peanut-free. I know that schools have those policies but had not heard of libraries having them. I did find a couple of public libraries outside of Michigan with a notice that the library is nut-free, and one with a policy. Is there a Michigan library with a policy, and what do the procedures look like for enforcing it? Do staff members need to make sure that their lunches and snacks do not contain peanuts, almonds, etc? Thanks for any advice! melissa -- Melissa A. Malcolm Library Director Lapeer District Library 201 Village West Dr S Lapeer, MI 48446 melissa(a)lib.lapeer.org www.library.lapeer.org 810.664.9521 <callto:810.664.9521> ext. 3113 "If liberty and justice mean anything, then access means everything." -- Charles Ogletree
