Apologies!
by Kate Pohjola Andrade 16 Feb '16

16 Feb '16

Hi all, Just a quick note to apologize for the confusion regarding today's webinar on Legal Issues in Children's Services, sponsored by the Children's & Teen Services Committee at the Woodlands Library Cooperative. I posted the registration information and the flyer to the list from the wrong email address last week, which explains why it sat for a few days and then showed up in everyone's inbox today, right in the middle of the webinar! I am happy to report that I have updated my email address with MICHLIB, and even better, the webinar will be archived and available online. I will share that link with everyone once it is made available. Have a great day, kate -- Kate Pohjola Andrade, Director Woodlands Library Cooperative 517-629-9469 586-801-0725 - cell/text http://woodlands.lib.mi.us

Trudeau Book: Weight Loss Cures "They"...Fraud
by Jim Flury 16 Feb '16

16 Feb '16

fyi, probably a good time to withdraw this book from your collection, if you've not already done so. I don't know how/if the refund applies to libraries. Contact your friendly neighborhood book wholesaler to find out, assuming they still have a record of your order. http://www.detroitnews.com/story/news/nation/2016/02/16/infomercial-pitchma… Jim Jim Flury Technical Services Manager The Library Network 41365 Vincenti Court Novi, MI 48375 248-536-3100 x133 Fax 248-536-3098 jflury(a)tln.lib.mi.us
