[Michlib-l] Rural Libraries Conference

[Jill Baker]

I'm not going to the conference, but I am spending this weekend on Mackinac
Island, so I have been watching the situation closely.  The good news is
that it looks like it is going to be in the forties up there all week with
some rain, which might help with melting.  There are a couple groups on FB
that you might consider joining because people in the groups have been
following the weather and the ice conditions very carefully. One is
Mackinac Island News and Views and the other is I Love St. Ignace.  People
posting to those groups are primarily locals so they know what's going on.
If all else fails, there's always the plane from St. Ignace.  :-)  Good
luck!
