Free 3D Printers
by Jeff Jimison 26 Aug '22

26 Aug '22

Hello All, Jeff Jimison here, of the Idea Lab at Baldwin Public Library. We were given two 3D printers by a patron who no longer wanted them. We already have several, and have no use or space for these. So I thought I'd see if there were any other libraries that might be able to use them. We've got a Creality CR-10 printer, and a Monoprice Mini. Both are capable printers and seem to be in decent order, though I haven't personally tested them yet. If anyone would like to pick up one or both of these printers, do contact me. Jeff Jimison, Lab Supervisor * The Idea Lab* * at Baldwin Public Library* 300 W. Merrill St. Birmingham, MI 48009 Lab Phone: (248) 554-4659 Cell Phone: (586) 805-0000 baldwinlib.org/idealab

Millage Question
by Honora Mason 26 Aug '22

26 Aug '22

Good morning! I have a question for any of the Public/School Libraries out there. Our district would like to explore trying for a millage in the near future, and I was curious is there anything different/extra that needs to be done because of being Public/School Library as opposed to a Public Library only? Any input or advice would be greatly appreciated. Thank you, Honora Mason Calumet Public School Library 57070 Mine Street Calumet Michigan 49913 906.337.0311 ext 1107
