We are seeing that libraries are having to close temporarily or adjust due to a known exposure or positive contact of a staff member or a customer. ALA would like to track this on a national level, but need your help in providing us information when a library in your state reports an exposure/positive case. In most cases the library closes access to their facility. In a couple of cases the library/branch has remained open. Below are libraries in 13 states that we have heard about in news reports. If you can send us a message or link to a news report to Mariel Colbert [log in to unmask]<mailto:[log in to unmask]> And if you are already tracking on your own, or your state library is can you let us know. Thanks! Feel free to ask any questions on this effort, which we are just starting.
