Used book buyer question
by Grimm, Erica 13 Aug '18

13 Aug '18

Hello fellow Michigan library-landers, I'm looking for feedback from other libraries about a company/person who has approached my library branches about buying excess donations and book sale leftovers by the pound ($.05/lb ex-library books & $.08/lb non-library books). Her name is Stephanie Swearengin and her company is Swearengin LLC. When I spoke with her, she mentioned that she had purchased books from other Michigan libraries and I was wondering if your library was one of those libraries what your experience has been? Thanks! Erica Grimm Branch Manager Brooklyn Branch Napoleon Branch 207 N. Main Street 6755 Napoleon Road Brooklyn, MI 49240 Jackson, MI 49201 517-905-1369 517-536-4266 www.myjdl.com

TLN Discount Offerings - DeepFreeze, OpenDNS, Symantec Endpoint and more
by Angelina Michelini 13 Aug '18

13 Aug '18

To all public libraries in Michigan: If your library is interested in purchasing licenses for DeepFreeze, WinSelect, OpenDNS (content filtering), Symantec Endpoint (virus protection) or other products listed in the attachment, please let me know which product you are interested in and the quantity desired and I'll provide a quote to you. If possible, please let me know by August 24 if you would like a quote. The TLN fiscal year starts October 1 each year. This is the time of year that I ordinarily purchase new licenses, etc. If your library is not yet ready to purchase a product by October 1, I can usually prorate the fee to accommodate your fiscal year. Symantec Endpoint is being renewed for another 3 years so now is a good time to place an order for virus protection licenses. For this product only, it's difficult to place an order during the 3 year contract. Thank you, Angie Michelini Technology Services Manager The Library Network 41365 Vincenti Court, Novi, MI 48375 Cell: 734.673.7303, urgent requests only Helpdesk: 248.536.3100 x134 Office: 248.536.3100 x144 Direct: 248.716.5583
