Great ideas that Mittens has 😉! On Fri, Oct 17, 2025 at 12:42 PM Cristi Harnish via Michlib-l < michlib-l@liblists.org> wrote:
Hello MeLCat Friends, Mittens finally arrived at Allegan district Library. First thing Mittens did was help Amber unpack and open MeL. Then he stopped in the ADL Lab to see the 3D printer printing mittens.LOL! Mittens was very excited to read "Remember" to the storytime group and be a part of the free giveaway of the book to the kids that visited. Mittens got to stay and be part of the Stuffed Animal Sleepover, he gave a safety speech, played the VR, caused a little mischief and got a donut for breakfast. Mittens helped Bill pack outgoing MeL books and convinced Kali to give him a ride on our MeL cart. Mittens enjoyed one of our 1,000 books before Kindergarten walls and wanted his picture up there. Mittens liked helping the kids make Halloween monster pictures. Mittens helped at the Circulation desk as much as possible, he liked meeting new people at the Allegan District Library. Then he took one final picture with the ADL Ladies of MeLCat. We had so much fun with Mittens! We hope he visits again!
Congratulations on 20 years of MeL! *Cristi Harnish* *Cataloging and MeL Coordinator * *Allegan District Library*
