do you have this piece of shelving?
by Megan Goedge 11 Nov '21

11 Nov '21

Hello, I am in need of one piece of shelving, if any libraries have the same kind. It's the end piece, like the one pictured, that has the lip that attaches to the shelf, but the opposite piece. The piece is about 8.75" x 7". The picture of the shelf shows which piece is missing - the piece I'm in need of. I have no idea how I'll retrieve it if anyone has one to give/sell, but I'll figure that out later. Thanks! Megan Megan Goedge (she/her) Children's Librarian Petoskey District Library 231-758-3123 [cid:image002.jpg@01D7D6EA.FE4E13A0] [cid:image004.jpg@01D7D6EA.FE4E13A0]

Registration for 11/22/2021 with Jean Meltzer is open and recordings of our other events are now available! Get Ready for a Ball! [image: Register for Nghi Vo on Zoom - 11/8/2021 at 7 pm] <https://www.bookandauthor.org/?nltr=Mzk7MzU5O2h0dHBzOi8vdXMwNndlYi56b29tLnV…> JEAN MELTZER has the unique distinction of being the world’s only Emmy-award winning, chronically-ill and disabled, rabbinical-school drop-out. Yet, it is this extraordinary background — coupled with a firm belief in holding onto your joy and seeking out happy endings — which forms the basis of her diverse work. Today, Jean lives a thriving, chronically-fabulous, Jewish life in Virginia. She sees her challenges as part of a larger journey and is eager to share her stories with others.
