Hi Everyone, My Board is looking at how each library has their employee health insurance set-up. How much does the library kick in? Does it differ between full time and part time employees? Do you offer different plans to full time versus part time? Any information you can provide me is greatly appreciated. Thank you, Anna M. Curtis, Director Eaton Rapids Area District Library 220 S.

Projector Recommendations
by Melissa Adkins 26 Nov '18

26 Nov '18

Hello Everybody, Our library is interested in replacing our Optoma EP721 DLP projector with something a little newer (these were last produced in 2011 and do not have HDMI inputs). Does anybody have a good projector they can recommend that works well for both movies and Powerpoint/business presentations? We're looking to stay fairly cheap while maintaining similar quality. Current projector is 2200 Lumens with 800x600 resolution. Any help is appreciated. Thanks! -- Melissa Adkins Adult Services Librarian Romulus Public Library 11121 Wayne Road Romulus, MI 48174 (734) 955- 4518 Serving Romulus and Huron Township Residents "You want weapons?
