Re: [Michlib-l] [all-tln] Magazine Binders

We here in Franklin have been checking out the current issue for years. People love it. I don't worry much about the wear and tear since we weed them out of the collections every 6 months or a year.

We now let current issues as well as past issues circulate and we have not had a problem with theft thus far. The magazines are clearly marked with our library's mailing label which includes the address. We have not noticed any increased wear and tear on the magazines either. Patrons seem to enjoy checking out the current issue and they are being returned when due. Hope this helps.

Re: [Michlib-l] Ancestry Library Edition versus MyHeritage
by Mary Harrison 11 Jul '22

Good Morning Again MichLibL, Several libraries asked me to compile and share answers to my earlier question. Please find the compilation attached. I really liked the genealogy resources listed on Sherman Township Library's site and am planning to do something similar for Coloma: http://shermantwplib.weebly.com/genealogy.html. Good luck to everyone, Mary Mary Jean Harrison Director Coloma Public Library 151 W. Center Street PO Box 430 Coloma Michigan 49083 269-468-3431 www.colomapubliclibrary.net <http://www.colomapubliclibrary.net/> The most important asset of any library goes home at night - the library staff. Timothy Healy From: Mary Harrison <> Sent: Wednesday, July 6, 2022 10:10 AM To: 'michlib-l(a)mail.mcls.org' <michlib-l(a)mail.mcls.org> Subject: Ancestry Library Edition versus MyHeritage Good Morning MichLibL, Our library is considering dropping Ancestry Library edition due to the high cost and sliding usage numbers-the average cost per search in June for our library was $8.06! Our patrons apparently got used to using it at home in the last couple of years. We had respectable numbers before the pandemic, but not so much anymore. Does MyHeritage serve your patrons' genealogy needs? We like the fact that it's free to us through Mel eLibrary. We would be grateful for any feedback you can provide about either Ancestry or MyHeritage. Mary Jean Harrison Director Coloma Public Library 151 W.
