ZTE Hotspots
by Myla Stuart 11 Jul '18

11 Jul '18

We have several ZTE Hotspots through Mobile Beacon/Sprint. Due to the notice from Sprint on the hotspots overheating our board decided not to circulate them (liability issues) until we hear further from Sprint. Is any other library doing something different? Thanks for the help: Myla -- *Myla-Jean Stuart, Director* Comstock Township Library 6130 King Highway PO Box 25 Comstock, Michigan 49041 269-345-0136

Can pups save the DVD?
by Marian Volek 10 Jul '18

10 Jul '18

Hi all! We received a DVD back today with the wrong disc in it, and I'm trying to track down the library it came back from (of course, I threw out all the slips). Our DVD is Paw Patrol: Pups Save the Bunnies---the disc inside, which has no library markings of any sort is Paw Patrol Pups Save Christmas. Our discharge record shows a patron barcode of #20293000123727. Can anyone help us get the right Pups back? If you chase down and retrieve the disc, you can send it back through RIDES. Hope we're barking up......I'll stop. Have a good day! Marian VolekWest Iron District Library101-ZV179
