Hi everyone,

I truly believed I had opened a bogus email and thanks to the responses I
received from all of you, I now understand a bit more about the [MELIBS]
ILL Request process. When I saw the word "Director" with an "s" at the end
of it in the email address, I was convinced it must be a spam.

The laugh is on me I guess.

Sorry about the email I sent out about a potential scam.

Joyce Garland
Director
Calais Free Library
9 Union Street
Calais, Maine
04619
