[MBL Discuss] Something slightly different

[John Clark]

Hi folks,

Not all of you know some of my other activities that are library 
related. Over the years, I've sort of become the Radar O'Reilly of the 
Maine library community (often to my wife's dismay). Stuff no longer 
wanted at libraries comes via the van line. If you're not familiar with 
MIPS, it's one of my projects. It's a list of both complete and partial 
sets of CDs and DVDs available as replacements of as stuff you can 
request to expand your collection. A link to it is on the main page of 
the Hartland Library website www.hartland.lib.me.us

   Last week, Melanie who used to be at the Farmington Library (now at 
McArthur in Biddeford), sent me two totes of playaways they weeded. If 
you don't have any and want to see how they go over in your library, or 
have some and want a really inexpensive way to expand the selection (as 
in free), email me at berek at tds.net and I'll shoot you a list of them. 
For those in school libraries, there are a few classics in the mix.

Regards,

John Clark
