MEL ORDERING
To the right of this page, you will see MEL. MEL is the Michigan Electronic Library. Through this you can order materials that you would like to read that our library does not own. The main thing is before you order, please....please....please check our library catalog first. Sometimes MEL doesn't tell you that we own it, so it is very important to check our listings first. The RIDES service will deliver your MEL item to us, we will process it and then call you when it is ready for pick up. This service is provided in cooperation with your local library, the Woodland's Library Cooperative, Library of Michigan and Midwest Library Collaborative System.
