Please direct any questions to ALA and the United for Libraries division. Topic - Looking Ahead, Planning for Reopening Description - Even as many are working overtime to provide remote and adapted services to their communities, librarians, library staff and boards are planning for reopening when it becomes safe to do so. There are many considerations, from patron and staff safety to dealing with materials, equipment, and space; from bringing staff onsite to restarting programs. Has your state established a task force or working group to launch the planning process? Join a conversation with colleagues from states across the country, share information, ask questions, hear what resources are available and let ALA know what help you need. This conversation is hosted by ALA's Chapter Relations Office and Public Policy and Advocacy Office, with United for Libraries.
