25 Aug '15

Thank you all for your replies. I have put together a list for the end of September and into October for the U.P. and Northern Michigan locations. If I missed you, I apologize and please let me know so I can add you to the list. Please see the attached list of appearances by Teresa Irish and her Thousand Letters Home program. There are some gaps in the scheduled dates, which according to her site, there are no programs scheduled. I have indicated these on the list as well. I don't know if she wants a break or if these are still open.

Periodical shelving for sale.....
by Francine Paolini 25 Aug '15

25 Aug '15

Hello Fellow Colleagues, We are doing some reorganizing and find ourselves with 9 sections, at three feet per section, of quality periodical shelving we no longer need. So, we are selling it. Attached are all of the specifications and two pictures of the shelving. The pictures represent the shelves we are keeping and currently using in our periodicals area. The shelving shown represents a range of 6 sections, at 3 feet a section. We are asking $1200.00 (or best offer) for the shelving. If you would like less than 9 sections, let me know and we will negotiate a price. Please e-mail me if you are interested. -- Francine Paolini Co-Director Grace Hauenstein Library
