MLS Reopening Phase I

Submitted by jballou on Wed, 04/29/2020 - 17:49

Please see the attached document with Phase I details for each division and department. If you have any questions don't hesitate to reach out to the person over that area or to me. We have not yet outlined Phase II to determine what services will be included or when it will happen. We want to take time to assess Phase I and follow guidance of our state and city leaders before we make decisions about Phase II. When we do have that information we will be sharing it with you.

Update: the next few weeks and beyond

Submitted by jballou on Thu, 04/16/2020 - 14:36

I hope this finds you and your family and friends doing well. This has been a difficult and challenging time and I am both thankful for and amazed by the outstanding work that has been done by our staff during the closure. As we enter the second half of April and have now been closed for a full month, the Library’s Senior Management Group has been discussing the topic that is probably forefront on your mind. When will we go back to work and what will that look like?
