<p class="MsoNormal">My co-worker Amanda Lamb and I are getting ready for our first indoor, in-person, limited capacity storytime since Covid started.
<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">I know some of you already offer in-person storytimes indoors and I would love to hear about your experiences.
<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Of particular interest are: <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">1. How do you help families social distance (taped shapes on the floor, carpet squares???)
<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">2. Do you wear a mask that allows people to see your face? If so, do you have recommendations?
<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Really, I would love to hear about anything that works well or doesn’t work for you. I appreciate any guidance you are willing to share. You can email me, or call me at 503 554 7734.<br>
I’m always inspired by what you all are doing across the state for your communities.<o:p></o:p></p>
