Mobile Hotspots- Experience and Feedback
by Michael Mccaffery 30 Dec '15

30 Dec '15

Hello We are trying out 5 mobile hotspots at CK/JFK to start with and I am trying to get a feel for what other libraries' policies are for these devices. Specifically, loan times, fines and anything else that is relevant to consider when lending them out. We will start lending them out starting in February, so any feedback, advice or experience is useful. Thanks for your time and attention!

library as a comfort station
by Perri Saunders 30 Dec '15

30 Dec '15

As winter weather approaches, we've talked about offering our library as a "comfort station", where patrons can charge phones/devices, use the computers, get warm, etc. if their power is out. Does anyone offer this service to their community? We're trying to establish some guidelines of what to offer and when to open our doors, and I'd love to hear input from those who do this already. Thanks for any advice you can offer! Perri Saunders, Director White Pigeon Township Library 102 N. Kalamazoo St., P.O. Box 399 White Pigeon, MI 49099 Phone 269.483.7409 Fax 269.483.9923 perri(a)monroe.lib.mi.us<mailto:perri@monroe.lib.mi.us> Brighten the corner where you are.
