StoryWalks for Summer!

Wilmington has created (purchased 2 books, cut/copied, etc.) close to 30 Story Walks. 
We’re a small library and run out of storage space.
Each page is 46.72cm x 61.96 cm (roughly 2ft x 3 ft) , each page is laminated.
They are from 18 to 24 pages.

We have so many because we tend to only have the StoryWalk up for one week before we switch it out. 
Pages are wiped down before they are put away.

Please – borrow, buy, Take them.  
We’ve put too much energy/time into creating these to just let them gather dust.
We will be creating many more for this coming summer.

Book Recycling- But Actual Recycling

Hi!

This morning, the president of our Friends organization told us that they no longer want unsellable materials because it is too much work for the volunteer that processes donations. So, we are on our own to figure out how to discard of any unwanted materials. Does anyone recycle their own damaged materials? And if so, do you use normal recycling or is there a different way that you get rid of these items?

 

Thanks in advance!

Disc Cleaning Machine Suggestion

We may need to replace our disc cleaning machine soon so I was wondering if anyone had a recommendation for one being used at their library. Something more basic would be preferable as we have two locations I split time at so I may not be able to run the machine every day. Maintenance on our bigger model was also challenging so if anyone has experience with a smaller model please let me know.

Thanks!

Baker & Taylor CLOSING

Not sure about all of you but this has really thrown us. Looking for recommendations for vendors. Does anyone primarily use Amazon? Worried about overloading Ingram. Also, has anyone even heard from Baker&Taylor? Are you guys cancelling all your orders? I'm not expecting to get anything more from them book wise, but I called twice and emailed and haven't heard a peep. Their voicemail boxes are full now. Crazy!!
