<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Arial",sans-serif;color:#1F3864">A few of your library director colleagues have approached the State Library requesting that we organize a “panel” discussion (it won’t need to be all that formal!) to talk about:
where you are at with your library’s re-opening, what’s working well, and what you might have done differently if “only you had known” :-)<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Arial",sans-serif;color:#1F3864">Jenny Berg from McMinnville has kindly offered to share her experience with her library being open three days a week. And when we say “open” that can be anything from patrons entering
your building to check out books by appointment and/or access to computers to looking ahead to hybrid programs (with both physical and “virtual” attendees), etc.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
