A: Libraries are a wonderful and important part of every community. For this answer I reached out to Liz Breed, Michigan e-library coordinator, to offer suggestions.
The Michigan eLibrary (MeL) provides 24/7/365 resources for students learning at home, and for summer fun activities. The library of Michigan provides MeL resources to all libraries across Michigan. Free for all, residents should visit their local public library's website for access.
If you're a Michigan resident wanting to use MeL from outside the state, you'll need a library card from a participating MeL Library to gain access.
Here are a few best bets to get started!
