free computer carrels
by Kate DeMeester 26 May '15

26 May '15

Hi everyone, Grosse Pointe Public Library has computer carrels that are no longer needed and are free to a good home. There are two sets of three, and a single 3-carrel unit is 11'2" long and 32" deep. They are in good shape, although a little of the plastic is peeling. I would think a little glue or something would make them good as new. The last photo shows what the issue is. If you are interested, please let me know off list. Thanks! Kate Kate DeMeester Assistant Director Grosse Pointe Public Library 10 Kercheval Ave Grosse Pointe Farms, MI 48236 (313)343-2074 x208 kdemeester(a)gp.lib.mi.us<mailto:kdemeester@gp.lib.mi.us>
