[Publib] Technical Services Work Space

[Ray Arnett]

Nellie,

One other consideration might be the need for materials repair. We do have a
sink in our technical services area and one of the biggest uses of it is
actually for adding water to the CD/DVD resurfacer that we use. In addition,
it is helpful if you are doing book repair to wash your hands,
dilute/process glue, etc.

I would strongly suggest keeping it in your standards.

General Information about us: we are a medium sized public library serving
13,000 people in Western Michigan. We have a beautiful large building that
opened in 2001.
