As everyone heads back to school, please keep in mind that the Michigan eLibrary (MeL) offers many quality and vetted online resources to aid with class assignments. And best of all - they are FREE for all Michigan residents! To help remind all parents, teachers, and students that MeL is an important go-to tool for school, we are providing a MeL Back to School Letter (https://goo.gl/F5Sq3h) and video (https://goo.gl/tXcoii) that can be shared with everyone in Michigan. School Administrators can share with their staff. Teachers can email it to parents and students, or include the link in a newsletter or on their webpage. Copies of the letter can be given out during Curriculum/Back to School nights. Public Libraries can also share out with their patrons and local schools. Please help Michigan students succeed this year by sharing the MeL Back to School letter and video widely. Also, please note, the MeL Back to School letter is currently available as a PDF in English. Arabic and Spanish versions will be available soon, so watch your email for their release!
