Door Counter Recommendations
by Melissa Adkins 09 Apr '24

09 Apr '24

Hi All, We are in need of a decent door counter. We got a cheap one off Amazon and have been using that, but it only made it a month and is having problems, which makes me thinks that we need something a little nicer. Do any of you have one that you really like, or a company that you use and trust? Thanks, Melissa Adkins (she/her) Director Ecorse Public Library 4184 W. Jefferson Ave. Ecorse, MI 48229 313-389-2030 madkins(a)ecorse.lib.mi.us

Hello - the Library of Michigan has free materials we are offering to the library community. To take advantage of this opportunity, see the information below and the attached spreadsheet. Feel free to forward this message to other library groups or listservs within Michigan. Content and condition The titles listed are extra copies of fiction and non-fiction (hard and soft cover) books submitted to the Michigan Notable Books program over the last year and either contain Michigan content and/or were written by a Michigan author. Also available are new and used Michigan government documents (on the second sheet of the document), items weeded from our collections, and donated materials we cannot use. Most of the non-MNB items are old library books and come with library markings/stickers but are otherwise in the condition noted on the spreadsheet. If you'd like to only consider the newer books, you can either sort by condition or publication year. How to request Please submit requests by email to baconb1(a)michigan.gov<mailto:baconb1@michigan.gov> .

Some, or all requested materials may no longer be available at the point we receive your email. It may take a couple weeks to process the requests, depending on staff time and availability of RIDES totes. I will send you an email when I am able to ship the materials to you. Shipping We prefer to ship items via RIDES. If you are not in the RIDES system, we can ship via UPS and we will cover the cost of shipment. Email requests must include the title as noted on the spreadsheet, how many copies you want (if applicable), RIDES code or a delivery address (street address only, no P.O. box), contact name, phone number and email address.
