Ed- Since staff will not be working, the RIDES label maker will not be operational yet. Executive Order 2020-21 (COVID-19) directs all Michigan businesses and operations to temporarily suspend in-person operations that are not necessary to sustain or protect life. Starting at 12:01 a.m. Tuesday, only "essential" businesses will be allowed to operate for the next three weeks, and all other businesses are ordered to suspend in-person operations.

I wonder if you can get the MCLS label maker working as normal so those libraries who have staff working can get our MeLCat returns packed up and ready to go when things resume. Best wishes.
