by Kimberly Schaaf 03 Mar '22

03 Mar '22

Greeting from Oak Park! Are there any libraries out there that use an alternative to the AWE stations in their youth areas for technology (stationary computer loaded with age-appropriate games)? It's a great product, but they are getting fairly expensive (even with a grant). Thanks, Kimberly Schaaf Director, Oak Park Library 14200 Oak Park Blvd. Oak Park, MI 48237 Office: 248-691-7566 Work Cell: 248-914-3318

Parenting magazines
by Bradley Scott 03 Mar '22

03 Mar '22

It seems that Parents Magazine, which we have in our browsing periodicals collection, is no longer going to be available in print. And, unfortunately, our most recent edition of Magazines for Libraries is missing the pages that deal with that subject area. Can anyone with an intact recent edition scan and send the pages dealing with parenting magazines? Thanks in advance for any assistance. Recommendations of other periodicals in this subject area would also be useful. -- Bradley A. Scott, MLS Electronic Resources Librarian Mott Community College 1401 East Court Street Flint, Michigan 48503 810-762-0405
