<div dir="ltr">Keep an eye out for public libraries that are remodeling. I was able to pick up 4 two-seat study carrels from a public library that was remodeling. They were giving their old items away for free, but my district had to send some maintenance guys with a truck to pick them up. Even if you have to drive a few hours to get them, it's well worth it. These carrels are solid wood and fantastically sturdy. There's no way we could have purchased them new. <div><br clear="all"><div><div dir="ltr" class="gmail_signature" data-smartmail="gmail_signature"><div dir="ltr"><div><div dir="ltr"><div><div dir="ltr"><div dir="ltr"><div dir="ltr"><div dir="ltr"><div dir="ltr"><div dir="ltr"><div><font color="#0000ff" size="4" face="times new roman, serif"><strong><em>Amanda Kuzminski</em></strong></font></div><div><font color="#0000ff" size="2" face="times new roman, serif"><strong><em>Library Media Specialist</em></strong></font></div><div><font color="#0000ff" size="1" face="times new roman, serif">Orland Junior High School</font></div><div><font color="#0000ff" size="1" face="times new roman, serif">Orland Park, IL</font></div><div><font color="#0000ff" face="times new roman, serif">708-364-4214</font></div><div><font face="garamond,serif" size="2" color="#351c75"><i><br></i></font></div><div><font face="times new roman, serif" size="2" color="#351c75"><b>The single clenched fist lifted and ready, or the open asking hand held out and waiting.

<p class="MsoNormal">Good afternoon,<u></u><u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><u></u> <u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">My library has a few group study carrels that are heavily utilized, and I’m looking to add a few more. I realize this is a long shot, but does anyone have a study carrel in their library that they are looking to get rid of at the end of
the school year? <u></u><u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><u></u> <u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">The one I’m looking at is from the Library Store and runs about $8,000 new. I’ve attached a picture of our current study carrel style, which seats 6. If anyone has suggestions for an affordable option, or a used one they are getting rid
of, I would appreciate it! <u></u><u></u></p>
