Due to continued uncertainties in federal funding, LM will discontinue the MeL database training that is provided through the MCLS contract beginning 10/1/2025. At this time, resources and training for library staff and educators will remain available on Mel.org. We know that this is disappointing news, and we appreciate the care and quality of work that the MCLS MeL Engagement Specialists, Ann Kaskinen and Laura Warren-Gross have given to MeL and the library community over the past seven years. We will continue to keep the library community informed of any further developments to MeL as we continue to navigate the uncertainties of funding.
