Ned Vizzini
by Colleen Leddy 27 Dec '13

27 Dec '13

Some of you may remember the Young Adult author Ned Vizzini ("Teen Angst," "It's Kind of a Funny Story") who spoke at an MLA Spring Institute several years ago. Our schools and library had a special relationship with him (He visited Morenci at least four times) and were so shocked and sad when we learned that he committed suicide last week. http://www.nytimes.com/2013/12/21/books/ned-vizzini-author-of-teenage-novel… Colleen -- Colleen Leddy, Director Stair Public Library 228 W.

MCLS closed until Friday
by Susan Alt 26 Dec '13

26 Dec '13

Hello all, Apologies for being out of touch for so long! The MCLS office was without power and network connectivity due to the storm that hit Lansing the other day. Connectivity has just been restored allowing me to send this out to y'all. Since we had no idea when connectivity would be back, we closed the MCLS office earlier this morning. We will remain closed until Friday morning. At that time, we'll start to go through emails and support requests that have piled up while we were offline. We appreciate your patience!

Did I miss an announcement? We haven't been able to access mel.org since Monday? Innovative software seems to be working, but the website is not loading. Couldn't get it from home, either. -- Stacy Pasche, Assistant Library Director
