With the new notice from the IRS that there may be changes made to the federal forms because of the new tax law passed on Feb 9, AND the fact that the IRS will NOT be printing the forms to send to libraries, what are other library systems doing? Are you pulling the forms with signage and info, telling folks were to order when they are ready? Or....? Thanks for thoughts.

Good morning, I wanted to share with you all the sad news that TADL's former director, Mike McGuire, passed away yesterday morning after a long illness. Funeral arrangements are incomplete at this time, but he is being served by Reynolds Jonkhoff Funeral Home in Traverse City. Mike worked at TADL for about 35 years and was director for most of that time, retiring in 2009. He continued to volunteer here sorting donations until a couple years ago. He was also past president of MLA. -- Gail A.
