[Michlib-l] Rural Libraries Conference

[Evelyn Lyzenga]

Yes, it is first come, first serve. According to the information that
Shannon sent a few days ago and then just yesterday, we need to call the
taxi number to get a reservation. That is one reason I called Sheplers this
morning because I needed some timeline to know when to make a reservation
for the taxi. I have our reservation for the taxi.

Parking at Sheplers is on their website. My husband and I are going to use
Sheplers outside lot (its located outside vs. inside under cover (the
inside cost more-see website). They take our car from the ferry dock to the
lot and bring it back when we come back on the ferry.

Hope this information helps.
