Canva template for a week's worth of events at the library
by Katie Rothley 12 Dec '24

12 Dec '24

Hi all! Hope you're all staying warm. Here is a Canva template I use on a weekly basis <https://www.canva.com/design/DAGZGDsk4xg/vBxa1ewjw9w9IjHb0fiBiA/view?utm_co…> for keeping all staff on the same page (haha) for announcements, events, displays, and our makerspace info. I make copies and put them at the Circulation and Librarian desks. I hope it's helpful for anyone looking for a solution to knowing what's happening on a daily and weekly basis for staff. The other two pages are just signs for our meeting rooms. Feel welcome to make a copy and edit it to suit your needs! Let me know if you have any issues accessing it. -- Katie Rothley, MLIS Marketing & Public Relations Librarian Northville District Library 212 West Cady Street Northville, MI 48167 (248) 349-3020 <callto:(248)+349-3020> ext. 221 https://northvillelibrary.org

Free Furniture - Bad Axe Area District Library
by Briynne McCrea 12 Dec '24

12 Dec '24

Good Morning! The Bad Axe Area District Library is prepping for a renovation, and we have a LOT of furniture that will be needing a new home. Everything is free but must be picked up. Furniture will be available by mid-January. If you are interested in anything (for any reason - for your library, your church basement, your man cave, your hunting cabin, your wood-working enthusiast neighbor, whatever) please let me know and we can arrange pick up. These are historic gems, folks. They don't make stuff with pineapple-shaped legs anymore. Get it while you can. Briynne McCrea Director Bad Axe Area District Library 200 S.

by Mary Beauchamp 11 Dec '24

11 Dec '24

Petoskey District Library is looking for a new home for our Russ Bassett microfilm filing storage cabinet. It's actually 2 separate cabinets but there is a tabletop glued to the top, so it's basically now just one fixture. 53.5" L 50" W 28.5" D We are asking $300 and you must pick up and transport yourself. Lastly, we are in a bit of a rush to sell and we are hoping to have it moved out of the library by the end of January (to make room for a new office). Please email me directly if you are interested. Thank you! Mary Beauchamp Collection Development & Adult Services Petoskey District Library<https://www.petoskeylibrary.org/en/index.aspx> 500 E. Mitchell St. Petoskey, MI 49770 231-758-3125
