by Brian Johnston 23 Sep '24

23 Sep '24

Hi Everyone, The 1984 baseball season was one of the most memorable ever for fans in Southwest Michigan, as the Detroit Tigers won the World Series and the Chicago Cubs fell one game short of also making it to the World Series. Forty years later, we'll be hosting a presentation to remember that incredible year! It will take place this Thursday, September 26 at 6:30 p.m. at Royalton Township Hall, located at 980 Miners Road in St. Joseph. Please see the attached flyer. Thanks, Brian R. Johnston Adult Services Librarian Lincoln Township Public Library 2099 W. John Beers Road Stevensville, MI 49127 (269) 429-9575 bjohnston(a)lincolnlib.org

Library Vending Machine Survey Responses
by Jesse Cornea 23 Sep '24

23 Sep '24

Hello all, Last week I sent out an email about Library vending machines and while many libraries seem to be interested in learning more about this service, only one library who responded (Royal Oak!) is in the process of getting one so I will share that information here. We are in the process of getting ours from Envisionware, so I can’t answer all of your questions yet, but I will give you what I’ve got! How much did the vending machine cost? - $27,855, just for the machine. It holds up to 200 items. https://www.envisionware.com/libcabinet/ What is the class of your library? - Class 6 If your vending machine is located at a private business, do you have an agreement with them? What sort of details does that include? - We will be putting it in a local supermarket. We are handling everything- stocking, support, etc. They are providing us with the space & internet connection. - Our agreement states there are not charges for keeping it there, and it gives us both a timeline to remove the machine if one party chooses to end the agreement. Does your vending machine have an insurance policy? - It will be insured with our city’s insurance. How successful has the vending machine been? - Well it isn’t in place yet, so we don’t have results! *Jesse Cornea* Library Associate Brandon Twp Public Library 304 South Street Ortonville MI 48462 248-627-1461 *ENGAGE • EDUCATE • ENRICH • EMPOWER*
