Monique - first of all THANKS for all the work you've put into this on our behalf.
Here is what I have in mind: 15 to 18 inches wide and about 15 inches deep, possibly with an expandable bottom. A canvas or sturdy cloth material I like the type that has the strap sewn up along the bag length. It would be nice if the straps were color against a neutral color for the bag. I was also thinking that we could get the universal library symbol on them. This would be a generic imprint and could represent all libraries. These are ideas for the best combination of elements, and I'm hoping that if enough of us participate we can get a great deal. I can spend up to $5.00 and would order 100 at that price. The lower it goes the more I can order.

Unfortunately, at this point, it looks as if none of them are going to respond. And so now I turn to you in order to assist me in refining the request and being able to present a known number or totes, the design specifications of the totes, etc. Your assistance in answering these questions will ultimately determine the look, price, and delivery times of the eco totes. The biggest questions are: 1) The overall quantity that will be ordered initially 2) The color of the totes 3) Will there be a design/logo used on the totes 4) Of the links to the bags in this e-mail, which one most closely resembles that tote that you want to use I have included some links below that will take you to some of the sites that I have found. http://www.orientaltrading.com/application?namespace=browse <http://www.orientaltrading.com/application?namespace=browse&origin=sear chMa in.jsp&event=link.itemDetails&demandPrefix=12&sku=14/116-IP&mode=Searchi ng&e rec=2&No=16&D=canvas%2Btote%2Bbags&Ntt=canvas%2Btote%2Bbags&Ntk=all&Dx=m ode% 252bmatchallpartial&Ntx=mode%252bmatchallpartial&N=0&sd=Canvas+Natural+C olor +Tote+Bags> &origin=searchMain.jsp&event=link.itemDetails&demandPrefix=12&sku=14/116 -IP& mode=Searching&erec=2&No=16&D=canvas%2Btote%2Bbags&Ntt=canvas%2Btote%2Bb ags& Ntk=all&Dx=mode%252bmatchallpartial&Ntx=mode%252bmatchallpartial&N=0&sd= Canv as+Natural+Color+Tote+Bags http://www.officedepot.com/shop/configureProduct.do?sku=988872 http://www.4imprint.com/Spectrum-Value-Tote/EXEC/DETAIL/~BSID460/~SKU008 657/ ~CA8657.htm http://www.ecobags.com/Set_of_5_-_GreenBag_Standard?sc=2 <http://www.ecobags.com/Set_of_5_-_GreenBag_Standard?sc=2&category=109> &category=109 (note - the pricing on this item will change when they have processed our non-profit status request - not sure by how much it will lower the overall costs, though) http://www.myshopangel.com/ad582.htm http://www.bagsamerica.com/environmental.htm Please respond at your earliest convenience and I can then proceed to talk to the vendors about the pricing and delivery times. (And as a side note, Avery sells transfers that can be run through a laser printer with your logo, design, etc. and those can be added to the totes afterwards if you were looking to personalize the bags, or use them in a fund raising capacity. Just an idea!) Thank you so much for your attention and participation on this - it is greatly appeciated and will ensure that once the final order is placed, everyone will be pleased with the results. Monique D.
