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]
