<span style="color:#515F5C">In 2020 we saw libraries close, partially reopen, and fully reopen, some going through the cycle multiple times. Through it all, libraries adapted to the new operational and service landscape in unique and unprecedented ways. While
some of these changes are not sustainable or ideal long term, many of these adaptations are proving to be beneficial solutions.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<span style="color:#515F5C">How will/should your library compose its new suite of services? Which services will be part of the new mix? Which new service delivery methods, unique programs, and systems will continue into the future? Share your experiences at
the Amigos’ 2021 Annual Member Conference where we will highlight libraries’ new directions, services, and opportunities and what libraries expect to keep as our changed landscape continues to develop.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
