reuseable bag source
by Melissa Huisman 03 Apr '17

03 Apr '17

Hi! We're looking for an alternative to the used flimsy plastic grocery bags we give to our patrons now to bring home materials. Just looks kind of tacky and they don't hold much. We're looking at both plastic bags (larger and stronger) or, better yet, the recycled polypropylene reusable bags (sort of look like mesh close up). Does anyone have a type of bag and source that they could recommend? And, if you have the recycled mesh kind - do you sell them or give them away? Thanks! Melissa Huisman, Library Director Gary Byker Memorial Library of Hudsonville 3338 Van Buren Street, Hudsonville MI 49426 Phone: 616-669-1255 X 5 Fax: 616-669-5150 Email: mhuisman(a)hudsonville.org
