by Jennifer Ray 30 Apr '14

30 Apr '14

Does anyone have staff traveling to the Beginning Workshop that could accommodate a passenger? I have a staff member attending who would rather not drive. She lives in Edwardsburg, MI (southwest corner of MI) and would be willing to meet up with someone in the region. If anyone has room for a passenger, please e-mail me at jray(a)cass.lib.mi.usor e-mail Linda Milarczyk directly at 4us49112(a)gmail.com. We will be happy to offset travel expenses. Thank you sincerely. Jennifer Ray Cass District Library 269.445.3400 ext. 25

Florida Murder with Michigan connection
by Mindy Schafer 29 Apr '14

29 Apr '14

We have a patron looking for a book that was written about a Michigan man who was murdered in Florida. She believes it occurred in the 1970s, specifically 1973, along the road/highway. We are truly stumped on this one. The other clue is that she believes the title is "something" & "something", but obviously doesn't know what the "somethings" are. Any ideas out there? -- Mindy Schafer Assistant Director/Youth Librarian DeWitt District Library <http://dewittlibrary.org> 13101 Schavey Rd.

Get aboard and enjoy the RLC Conference !! RE: Rural Libraries Conference
by Robertson, Nancy (MDE) 29 Apr '14

29 Apr '14

Hello all, Surely you don't want to miss out on this every other year opportunity just because Michigan has had a bit of weather this winter. Shannon and her team have worked diligently on this conference so it will be one of or THE best ever. The transportation is being worked out by Shannon and the transportation folks, and she expects that everyone should be able to get over to the island. The weather is expected to improve even more by the time you will be ready to return to the mainland. Please do not let all of the work that went into getting this conference ready go to waste. Enjoy the conference! Say hi to Marian for me :) Nancy From: michlib-l-bounces(a)mcls.org [mailto:michlib-l-bounces@mcls.org] On Behalf Of Nannette Miller Sent: Monday, April 28, 2014 12:45 PM To: michlib-l(a)mail.mcls.org Subject: [Michlib-l] Rural Libraries Conference Hi, We are curious if others are deciding not to attend the conference because of the dicey conditions. This is a video of the Sacre Bleu, the only boat Shepler's has running, leaving St. Ignace yesterday. https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?v=10154104350790217&set=vb.199146720216&… I called Shepler's this morning to ask how 150 people would fit on this boat. They hope to be able to put buses and vans on the deck and fill them with people, but they aren't sure they will be able to because yesterday ice was coming over the bow. Getting there is only our first concern. With a shift in the wind it could jam up again and we could be stranded on the island. Ferry service is still subject to cancellation. Are we the only chickens? Nannette Miller Elk Rapids District Library
