[Genealib] microfilm bookends

[Ann Ellen Barr]

We sometimes use 2 x 4s cut to varying lengths to be used as needed.
Cheap way to
solve the problem.

Shawna,

 

We put empty boxes behind the microfilm.  Best ones are the ones the
films are shipped in, meaning 4 x 4 by a foot long or so.  Doesn't look
as nice , but it works.

We recently shifted some of our microfilm into new drawers and now we
have half-filled drawers.  The microfilm falls over into the back area
and we need a way to prop up the last box of film in the drawer.  We had
just a few microfilm "bookends", but would like to buy more.  Does
anyone know where to buy these?  Regular bookends are too big to fit in
the drawer.  The ones that we have already are simple L shaped pieces of
metal just the right width and height for microfilm boxes.
