We have some important information for our friends who regularly borrow items using MeLCat - the Michigan eLibrary which allows libraries across the state to share materials with one another.

Starting Wednesday, November 18, 2015, through Friday, December 11, 2015, the folks at MeLCat will be doing some work on their servers. During that time, MeL will be unavailable for borrowing materials. Once the server maintenance is done MeL will be back up, better than ever, and ready for patrons to once again search and borrow materials.

MCLS will be posting about this regularly to keep everyone up to date. More information can be found at: http://bit.ly/melupgrades
