[OPLINLIST] Paper Shredder for public?

[Tamra Hess]

Hello Gerry,

The East Palestine Library does not have a public shredder in-house.
However, through the Friends of the Library, we offer bulk shredding twice
a year in our parking lot.  A commercial shredding company is contracted
for two hours on a Saturday morning and community members are limited to
five bags or five boxes.  It has been a very popular service for years.

Tamra Hess, Director
East Palestine Memorial Public Library
309 North Market Street
East Palestine, OH 44413
330-426-3778 (phone)
330-426-4950 (fax)
