Library Products: Cooperative Purchasing News
On November 1st, Tim Peters will retire from his position of Products Coordinator after a successful and varied career with Minitex. Thank you, Tim, for your years of service to libraries!
Minitex has released its 2024/25 Cooperative Purchasing catalog, now available for K-12 schools and libraries. These catalogs offer a wide range of discounted library products and electronic resources, aimed at enhancing library operations and services.
Minitex is giving away 30 boxes of Red Tag 9040 Double CD Cases (Clear) to any library that can use them, after they were left unclaimed at their warehouse. These durable, clear cases are perfect for libraries looking to store and organize their CD collections. These could also be used to store DVD or Blue Ray discs.
The Sentry EM Bookwand is a portable tool for reactivating books, either individually or in groups, and the Sentry EM Desktop Deactivator is a non-electric device used to safely desensitize materials for manual checkout. Minitex, a leading distributor of Sentry's library security products, offers these devices at discounted prices until October 31, 2024.
Designed for grades 5-12, The Juice is a completely new kind of educational resource: a daily newspaper, a fact-checked database, an ever-growing multidisciplinary textbook, a reading intervention tool, and a literacy benchmarking platform all rolled into one intuitive product that takes just a few minutes to learn.

Sentry Custom Security is offering price reductions on its New and Improved QuickCheck-X™.
The QuickCheck-X™ is a user-friendly self-checkout system for library patrons, featuring a touch screen monitor that provides step-by-step instructions for checking out various library materials. It supports traditional barcode labels and electromagnetic (EM) security strips, and is available in configurations including RFID and barcode-only. The system is modular, allowing additional security features, and includes remote administration software for monitoring and managing multiple stations, updating software, and generating usage reports.
This week, I had the opportunity to visit Symbology’s new facility in Burnsville, MN, and meet with the team that we work directly with for barcode orders. The visit showcased their new location and underscored the strong, long-term partnership between Symbology and Minitex.
