continue to monitor CDC guidelines, Columbus Metropolitan Library policies, and
the City of Columbus mandates. Public health measures are changing rapidly, and
SOA will continue to evaluate and update these protocols to be in-line with
recommended standards as we get closer to the event. Please check back
