[Michlib-l] VOX Books Shelving Solution

[Kathy McKinney]

Hi David,

We have a lot of VOX books, and we are always purchasing more. These are a
huge hit in our library. We ended up swapping out the shelves for hanging
bars. Each VOX book goes into a bag patrons can take home including the
charger. If we want to display them, they are stood up on top of the
shelving units.
