All- We have discovered what appears to be a glitch in our email. Emails directly to individual addresses work, but if you sent anything to our help desks (RT) they are not coming through. MeLCat help: melcathelp(a)mcls.org<mailto:melcathelp@mcls.org> RIDES Assistance form: http://mcls.org/rideshelp MeL Databases: http://mcls.org/meldatabaseshelp Group Purchasing Department: services(a)mcls.org<mailto:services@mcls.org> If you sent an email since last Friday to one of these addresses but did *not* receive an instant automated response, we have not gotten your email yet. We are hoping this will be resolved soon and we will respond to all of you as soon as possible. Thanks Sue Sue Alt RIDES Coordinator MeLCat Support Specialist Midwest Collaborative for Library Services 800-530-9019 ext 143 alts(a)mcls.org<mailto:alts@mcls.org>

Program suggestion
by Margaret Bentley 14 Oct '16

We had Teresa Irish, compiler of /A Thousand Letters Home/, last night. She is a wonderful and inspiring speaker with a very positive message about the importance of family, faith, and country. It had only been about a week since her mother's death, but she still did a fantastic job, and I would highly recommend her program.

Hello -- Hackley Public Library will be closed Saturday, Dec. 24. We are normally open Saturdays. We'll be closed Monday, December 26 for the Christmas holiday. I understand that the 26th is the official holiday, with post offices, banks, etc. closed. Lather, rinse and repeat for the New Years day weekend (closed the 31st, and closed Jan. 2).
