Hello, We have a ton of locks that we do not need. The blue ones are for DVDs and we have probably close to a 1000 of them. The white ones in the photo have been taken, but the gray locks are for playaways and we have a lot of those too. Please let me know if you could use any of these and we can send them over via RIDES. Thank you, Stephanie --- Stephanie Fair Director St. Clair Shores Library 22500 E Eleven Mile Rd, St Clair Shores, MI 48081 586-447-3408 fairs(a)libcoop.net

Collaborating with high school - questions
by Lorry Traver 29 Apr '24

29 Apr '24

Good morning, I am working on research to determine how we could collaborate more with our high school. I know each community is different so their needs are uniquely different as well, but I was wondering if some of you could share some ways you and your high school have worked together. Did you work closely with the teachers, or did you solely work with principal/secretary? What was the best way you found to determine their needs? I know surveys can help but many teachers and other staff are often too busy to fill out additional forms. And any other information you could share would be greatly appreciated. Thank you! -- *"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
