[Michlib-l] Locker for after hours pickup

[Shane Stewart]

I must have missed this thread earlier... Chesterfield Township Library has
had outdoor pickup lockers for about two years now. Patrons love the
convenience. We built off the idea that Otsego Library posted (I don't see
them on the list).
We ultimately went with the all-weather, 6-tier option from uline
