[OPLINLIST] in need of 3.5" floppy discs

[Jennifer Coventry]

Thanks to everyone who offered to send diskettes! I should have plenty of supplies now.

Since a few people have asked, this is the craft I have in mind:

http://www.brit.co/diy-floppy-disk-planters/


I am hoping to make these planters with my teens for this year's "Dig into Reading/Beneath the Surface" summer reading theme.



I'm not going to supply the plants due to cost, but packets of seeds are very cheap. I figure we can make the planters, give them the seeds, and let them finish on their own.

If I don't get any colorful diskettes, I've got plenty of acrylic paints for them to make their planters unique and create their own designs. Super cute and a good way to recycle! :)

Thanks again!

Morning all,

I am looking for any libraries that may still have boxes of 3.5" floppy discs lying around. I would like to use them for a craft, but unfortunately we've gotten rid of all of ours. If you still have some and can part with them, I would really appreciate it! I need quite a few, so anyone and everyone who can send boxes, please do.

Our priority dispatch # is 16400 (Newcomerstown Public Library).

Thanks!
