All, Many MI libraries subscribe to CreativeBug. Thus I thought it might useful to share the news of the bankrupt company's acquisition by another firm earlier this week. As you know, CreativeBug parent company JoAnn recently filed for bankruptcy protection for the second, final time. Rival Michaels bought some JoAnn assets. Its physical stores were closed. JoAnn subsidiary CreativeBug was auctioned to the highest bidder, Golden Peak Media, which itself was founded as the result of a bankruptcy auction purchase of longtime publisher F+W Media a number of years ago.

That press release did not utilize a secure version of http (https) and as a result, it would be flagged as insecure by most web browsers.
