Update on schools and public libraries:

Like schools, public libraries are under local control. Most public libraries are open in various capacities: some for computer appointments and quick “grab and go” hold and book pick up.

Special guests:

     Discussion:

·         What would be most helpful for school librarians?  What wouldn’t be?

·         What would be most helpful for learners and families?  

·         What do public libraries have to offer?  What are they currently offering?

·         What is the best way to communicate (to school librarians, families, teachers) what is available from         public libraries?
