Flooring recommendations for multi-use
by Stair Library 07 Jul '26

07 Jul '26

Hi all, We are renovating our annex, a long skinny building with three distinct sections and I’m looking for flooring suggestions for this multi-use space. We are planning to replace carpeting in one section, and the flooring in the other two sections will be replaced with some kind of “hard” flooring, possibly LVT. All the current flooring takes a beating from food, paint and lots of messy projects. But, we want carpeting in the back section for author talk types of programs. What kind of flooring would you recommend for this type of use? What’s your experience with LVT flooring…good or bad? Any info or opinion is welcome! Thanks! Colleen Colleen Leddy, Director Stair District Library 228 W. Main St. Morenci, MI 49256 517.458.6510 stairlib.org M&W: 10-7 T&Th: 1-5 F&S: 10-2

books in bins
by Perri Saunders 06 Jul '26

06 Jul '26

We're considering a change in how we shelve/display our kids' books. If any of your libraries use a forward-facing format (like bins or other racks), could you send a picture? Also, how does it work? Do you alphabetize the books in the bin or rack? Is it a mess? Is it great? Do you have another way to display kids' books that works well for you? If so, I'd love to hear it! Thanks in advance, Perri -- Perri Saunders, Director White Pigeon Township Library 102 N. Kalamazoo St., P.O. Box 399 White Pigeon, MI 49099 269-483-7409 *p.saunders(a)woodlands.lib.mi.us <p.saunders(a)woodlands.lib.mi.us> * *Brighten the corner where you are.*
