[Michlib-l] Gloves & hand sanitizer

[Amy Goldyn]

I just wanted to share with everyone a couple of our successes in finding PPE supplies.


Hand sanitizer is being purchased from distilleries. The prices vary from place to place and some of them have limits on the quantity you can purchase, so please double check ahead of time. Here are some of the results I found:


    Journeyman Distillery in Three Oaks - $24.99 for 1.75 L or $167 for 8 1.75 L bottles


    Michigrain Distillery in Lansing - $65 a gallon


    ?Red Cedar Spirits in East Lansing - $50 a gallon


    Grand Traverse Distillery in Frankenmuth (also in Traverse City) - $60 a gallon


    Long Road Distillery in Grand Rapids - $30 a half gallon; $60 a gallon


    Motor City Gas Whiskey in Royal Oak - $64 a gallon; limit 2 per person


    Ugly Dog Distillery in Chelsea - $20 for 1.75 mL with a limit of 6; $40 a gallon with a limit of 5


    Ann Arbor Distilling in Ann Arbor - $350 for 5 gallons


    Rusted Crow Distillery in Dearborn Heights - $50 a gallon


    St. Julian Winery in Frankenmuth - $50 a gallon


    Detroit City Distilling - only supplying to hospitals at this time


The hand sanitizer is in a liquid form, not gel, and works best using a spray bottle. I've been told that it can also be used to sanitize surfaces as well as hands.



I have found a plentiful supply of vinyl and nitrile gloves at Gordon Food Service (GFS) stores.



Our Community Relations Manager was able to order cloth masks and plastic face shields through a company called iPromoteu.com.


Good luck finding the PPE supplies for your library!


Thanks,
