It is a quick ten (10) question survey made possible in part by the University of Michigan School of Information, and the Institute of Museum and Library Services and Technology Act. We also have print copies of the survey available at the Munising Library. The survey runs through April 15. We appreciate your input!

One of my favorite comedy sketches of all time is “Who’s on First?” by Bud Abbott and Lou Costello. It is sometimes known as “Baseball” and was first performed in 1938. The premise of the bit is two people communicating about different baseball players on a team. As one attempts to explain the positions of the players to the other, their communication gets more and more confused and misinterpreted, resulting in both conversationalists being frustrated. Most listeners and viewers are chuckling in no time. It is a great example of the very human experience of miscommunication.

LANSING, Mich. – The Michigan Department of Health and Human Services (MDHHS) is announcing the release of a new function to the MI Bridges website where Michiganders apply for benefits like Medicaid, food assistance and more. The new application tracker will allow residents to follow the progress of their benefits application online rather than waiting for a determination letter or having to call into a local office.
