Hi, We are looking for some extra cabinets similar to those shown below for our new LHRR. We have more vertical files than we do cabinets and would love to reuse older cabinets, if possible, as opposed to buying new. See attached photo. If you do have some for sale or for free, please email Samantha Ashby at sashby(a)uproc.lib.mi.us or call at 906-226-4309. Thanks, Sam -- Samantha Ashby Adult Services Department Head Peter White Public Library 217 N. Front St. Marquette, MI 49855 906.226.4309

Sound Booth Policies
by Andrea Ingmire 05 Nov '19

05 Nov '19

Hi all, We are super excited to be partnering with the Superiorland Library Cooperative to host a sound booth here at PWPL. Initially this sound booth will be used to record UP books for the library for the blind, but long-term we want to be able to open this up to folks who want to record local histories, podcasts, music or whatever. If you have a sound booth policy (or something similar) I'd love to not re-create the wheel. Also, if you have any experience based tips on how to manage this type of equipment, we're all ears! Thanks so much.

We pride ourselves on providing great service to our community of users. We believe in actively using our collections and resources to create an awareness of the history of our region.
