Time to Re-Open. Now What? - Webinar (05/14/20)

Anne Shepherd will discuss practical and low-cost space planning tips on how to re-open your library building with the safety of staff and patrons in mind.  Both interior and exterior spaces will be covered. 

This event will stress services and space rather than electronic or remote services.  Space Planning Protocols for re-opening after Covid 19 closings will be discussed.  Materials for the webinar will be provided to guide and inform note taking.
