<p class="MsoNormal">You will also see guidance for specific sectors on this web site. I have been in conversation with the Governor’s office regarding the need for library-specific guidance given that libraries provide services and resources in ways that are
unique from other sectors. Working from the guidance for the <a href="https://sharedsystems.dhsoha.state.or.us/DHSForms/Served/le2342A.pdf">
retail sector</a>, a draft guidance document for libraries is attached. I would like your feedback before sending to the Governor’s office and OHA for review and finalization. You can send me an email with your thoughts, or attend the following discussions
this week:<o:p></o:p></p>

<p class="MsoNormal">In addition to working on this official guidance, the State Library is working on pulling together other resources and support to assist you as you transition to new service models and phased reopening. The
<a href="https://libguides.osl.state.or.us/coronavirus/home">LibGuide</a> is a great source of information and we will put out a supplementary document to the official guidance once that is finalized.
