[Michlib-l] Book Offers - Library of MI

[Bacon, Betsy (MDE)]

Hello - the Library of Michigan has free materials we are offering to the library community.  To take advantage of this opportunity, see the information below and the attached spreadsheet.  Feel free to forward this message to other library groups or listservs within Michigan.

Content and condition
The titles listed are extra copies of fiction and non-fiction (hard and soft cover) books submitted to the Michigan Notable Books program over the last year and either contain Michigan content and/or were written by a Michigan author. Also available are items weeded from our collections, and donated materials we cannot use.
Most of the non-MNB items are old library books and come with library markings/stickers, but are otherwise in the condition noted on the spreadsheet. If you'd like to only consider the newer books, you can either sort by condition or publication year.

How to request
Please submit requests by email to baconb1 at michigan.gov<mailto:baconb1 at michigan.gov> .  If you are local or passing through, you are welcome to schedule a time to select and claim materials on-site from 9am-5pm, Mon.-Fri. Email baconb1 at michigan.gov<mailto:baconb1 at michigan.gov> if you want to schedule a visit.
Email requests are handled on a first-come basis by date and time. Some, or all requested materials may no longer be available at the point we receive your email.
It may take a couple weeks to process the requests, depending on staff time and availability of RIDES totes. I will send you an email when I am able to ship the materials to you.

Shipping
We prefer to ship items via RIDES. If you are not in the RIDES system, we can ship via UPS and we will cover the cost of shipment.
Email requests must include the title as noted on the spreadsheet, how many copies you want (if applicable), RIDES code or a delivery address (street address only, no P.O. box), contact name, phone number and email address.  Emails should be directed to baconb1 at michigan.gov<mailto:baconb1 at michigan.gov> .

Deadline
If you are interested in any of these materials, please respond to this email no later than December 4th, 2023.  Materials will be shipped as soon as time and resources allow.
Thanks for your time, please feel free to contact me if you have any questions.
