[dms-discuss] Fwd: Davis Library Makerspace

Thu Mar 18 14:35:23 UTC 2021

Hello all,

I somehow didn't understand that the show room is out in Rancho Cordova.
Sorry about that. I don't think I can take that much time off work to drive
out there and back today unfortunately. James, is that anywhere near you?
Do you think you could take a look with the library?

It sounds like the library needs to know if we want mostly wood or metal
surfaces for furniture. Anyone have an opinion on that? Lucas? Britney?

If y'all can get back on the wood vs. metal surfaces that would be helpful.

Thanks!
Emily
