<div>Welcome to the 2017-18 School Year!</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>As everyone heads back to school, please keep in mind that the Michigan eLibrary (MeL) offers many quality and vetted online resources to aid with class assignments. And best of all - they are FREE for all Michigan residents!<br>
</div>
<div> </div>
<div>To help remind all parents, teachers, and students that MeL is an important go-to tool for school, we are providing a MeL Back to School Letter (<a href="https://goo.gl/F5Sq3h">https://goo.gl/F5Sq3h</a>) and video (<a href="https://goo.gl/tXcoii">https://goo.gl/tXcoii</a>)
that can be shared with everyone in Michigan. School Administrators can share with their staff. Teachers can email it to parents and students, or include the link in a newsletter or on their webpage. Copies of the letter can be given out during Curriculum/Back
to School nights. Public Libraries can also share out with their patrons and local schools. </div>
<div> </div>
<div>Please help Michigan students succeed this year by sharing the MeL Back to School letter and video widely.<br>
</div>
<div> <br>
</div>
<div>Also, please note, the MeL Back to School letter is currently available as a PDF in English. Arabic and Spanish versions will be available soon, so watch your email for their release!</div>
<div> </div>
<div>Have a great school year Michigan!<br>
