Welcome to MeLCat - Added Lakeland Service Starting October 1, 2008

• Most Lakeland Library Coop member libraries are adding this new service. Patrons will be able to request items from the statewide MeLCat catalog and have them delivered to their home library. This service can be used to replace the GRPL collection and offers much broader and extensive access to over 250 public, academic, school and special library collections in Michigan. The MeLCat icon will appear on the Lakeland Library Cooperative shared catalog screen. Ask staff to assist you in learning more about this added service.
