I have a computer monitor that's not quite dead, but on the fritz. Can somebody use it as a teaching tool for a break-space event? -- *Danielle "Nellie" DankeDirector* 231-386-5131 leelanautwplib(a)gmail.com *LeelanauTownship Library* PO Box 235, 119 E Nagonaba ST Northport, MI 49670 www.leelanautownshiplibrary.org

Vintage cookbook questions
by Stacy Pasche 29 May '18

29 May '18

Occasionally we have a patron in need of a vintage Betty Crocker or Better Homes and Gardens cookbook for a recipe "that mom used to make." Recently, we had someone request a recipe for "Old fashioned Italian wedding soup" from the checked cookbook- 1960's. Does anyone know of an old recipe database? Or- does anyone have the red and white checked cookbook from teh 1960's on their shelves and can see if the recipe is there? While this conversation was happening, another patron said she has been looking for a baked apple recipe that used pudding that was supposedly in the same cookbook. Thanks! -- Stacy Pasche, Assistant Library Director *"Sometimes it's fun to do the impossible." -Walt Disney*

Request to borrow scanners for elementary library inventory
by Kristy Cooper 26 May '18

26 May '18

Hi everyone, I'm helping run an inventory in my son's elementary school library at Ypsilanti International Elementary School. We don't have a dedicated school media specialist, and myself and other parents have been maintaining basic circulation for classroom visits. Can anyone in Southeast Michigan lend us some extra scanners for an end of the year inventory for the last few weeks of school? I could come pick them up sometime this coming week and then bring them back in mid-June when we're done. Thanks! -- Kristy Cooper
