DAY #84: Split Flap for Library Programming

Did you know that Oat Foundry Split Flaps can be accelerated to create a more prominent flipping sound, or, in the same way, slowed to soften it? The quiet white noise of a slow-flipping Split Flap is the perfect sensory signage for a library, whether at a university, school, or community library. Rotate through upcoming events, new books, library amenities, and more.
