Sorry about that, Clare. I should have been more clear in this email. (This was my third version, as the first two refused to send). Although the title is "recommendations", I only gave it that title because my original email was asking for recommendations. As Clare says, this list is strictly informational with no recommendations (other than Anne - many, many people recommended Anne to me). ---------------------------------------- From: "Membiela, Clare (MDE)" <MembielaC@michigan.gov> Sent: 7/27/18 2:06 PM To: Michlib-l <michlib-l@mail.mcls.org> Cc: "a.hughey@bridgeportlibrary.org" <a.hughey@bridgeportlibrary.org> Subject: RE: [Michlib-l] Lawyer recommendations spreadsheet undefinedundefinedundefined Hello: Please note: The spreadsheet sent out on Michlib—L (below) is one that was created by me for purposes of information only – and one that I often distribute to anyone who asks about Library Law attorneys.
