<p>Hello colleagues,</p>

<p>My Director asked me to inquire how those of you who allow the public into the library are handling COVID-19 concerns. </p>

<p>- Are your doors locked or open during operation?</p>

<p>- How do you control the number of people in the building at any one time?</p>

<p>- Do you take temperatures and do health checks for each person?</p>

<p>- How do you monitor the public while they are in the building, so you know what to clean after they leave?</p>

<p>Especially with Westlake-Porter's staff contracting coronavirus and needing to close for several days (<a href="https://www.cleveland.com/community/2020/09/westlake-library-shutting-down-temporarily-due-to-covid-cases-among-staff.html">https://www.cleveland.com/community/2020/09/westlake-library-shutting-down-temporarily-due-to-covid-cases-among-staff.html</a>), we are revisiting our plans to relax some restrictions as of October 1. Your input would be appreciated.</p>

<p>Sincerely,</p>

<p>Lynne Welch - Reference Librarian</p>
