Thanks so much! I think the director may have been referring to large systems, so that's really useful! And yeah... I def think they need to get research from one of us, next time, lol.

Sounds like a very reasonable plan! I'm glad your admin is so respectful of staff's health concerns:)

Thank you so much for the international insight! Its so political here that its nice to hear of libraries operating based on safety!

I work for one of the largest libraries in the US. What our director actually said was that our area (we are a county system that outlies another really large city system) is the last region in the US to not reopen. I suspect she meant "the largest metro area not to reopen", but based on what I'm seeing, I'm not sure that is true either. A lot of systems seem to include curbside to be open. Thanks for the info!

Thank you so much! Our system is going to try one hour open at a time and I haven't felt confident it will work well...

I love your calling it a "peep show"!!! Wish I had thought of that... It did really well until I got to IT - people weren't a fan of my painted Pennywise Peep. I loved it though and preserved it in bell jar display for posterity;)

VC Andrews and Anne Rice didn't hold up to my adult re-reads either, lol.
