This program is about the importance of voting and offers teens the opportunity to register (or preregister) to vote. It will feature 2 speakers from the American Citizens for Justice (ACJ).

Story Time Bags - Question
by Lorry Traver 02 Oct '24

02 Oct '24

Hello Library Land, I recently have been put in charge of building up our story time bag collection, and recently have noticed the bags we purchase do not hold up well. There are puncture holes (large and small) from our hardcover picture books - there are always 2 hardcover books in every bag. This link shows the bags we are purchasing now, so you have a better idea of what we are working with: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B06Y1Q2KXT?ref=fed_asin_title For those who use the same, or similar, bags - do you reinforce the bottoms of the bags to help them hold up longer? Or, have you found there is a better bag that holds the materials well and lasts for a decent amount of time? Thank you so much for your help! -- *"I think books are like people, in the sense that they'll turn up in your life when you most need them." - Emma Thompson* *Lorry Traver* Public Services Librarian Brandon Township Library 248-627-1460
