Hi Cynthia,
I have a call in to Anne Seurynck. Anne said she would talk with Clare Membiela. Randy Riley gave me a call as well to reassure me we should be able to continue. The initial thought is curbside is in compliance with the EO. My concern was the generic word "use" in section 1 and that all the exceptions for delivery service were specifically geared towards food service. I think the intent is more general but it was rushed into publication. As always, I don't think Lansing thinks about all the different ways libraries serve patrons. If I get a more restrictive interpretation, I'll pass it along.

For discussion:
Given this new executive order, what's the thought on curbside delivery? Note that the executive order includes "
Places of public accommodation subject to this section are encouraged to offer food
and beverage using delivery service, window service, walk-up service, drive-through
service, or drive-up service, and to use precautions in doing so to mitigate the
potential transmission of COVID-19, including social distancing."
Is curbside delivery in the spirit of the order? Thoughts?
