[Michlib-l] Travel writer finds librarians on Mackinaw Island.

I agree with all.  It was a wonderful conference and the adventure of getting over to the island and back and also the "nasty" weather just made the memories more memorable.  I hope that it can be held there again.  Thanks for all the hard work of the committees, the hotel (the food and food service staff were outstanding), and Sheplers!

The conference was wonderful and I do hope that we will have it again in the future on Mackinaw Island. As with any situation, it is all in what you make it, good or bad. I choose to find the best and run with that and not the negative situations that were beyond all of our controls.

I totally agree with Corey.  It was a wonderful conference and I had a great time.  Thank you so much to all who worked hard to make it happen.  Shannon and the conference people as well as Shepler's who did all that they could to get us to the island and then back to the mainland safely.  It was an adventure and I have wonderful memories of my stay at the Grand!!

Hi everyone -  

Along those lines, I would like to send a big shout out to Shannon White, the committee volunteers and the Library of Michigan staff for planning a conference is really unusual circumstances.  Dealing with weather is always a concern for meetings - but I think that this one topped them all.   

It was a great conference and a great job all around.   

For those of you who enjoyed the more mild temperatures this last week - here are pictures from the conference (especially the ferry crossing and the Grand Hotel):

Thanks for sharing this Connie. This year was my first time attending RLC and it was FABULOUS! Kudos to those who planned the event and to those who braved the conditions on Wednesday (with a smile!) determined to gain new skills to better serve their communities.

Free Press writer goes to Mackinac Island to check out the ice and the weather and runs into librarians who "did not seem to mind the challenge."
