I hope this finds you well and enjoying your day. I know there are questions about how the library is responding to Covid and other organizational activities. So, during this video (filmed on Thursday Nov. 5), I walk through our current status of covid within the system and provide other organizational news / information. In addition to the Covid news, I also discuss SMG / LT developments, the Communications Cabinet, and other system information.
As an addendum to the video, I know this morning's Covid -related data took a steep climb. I will be bringing data to the Executive Committee of the MLC on Wednesday to discuss how the library moves forward.
Based on your responses, I will try to make a regular video message and share them every 2 weeks. Please send me any questions you may have, and I will give you an answer (either via video or other means).
Thank you for everything you do that allows MLS to make a positive difference in our communities.
