i miss her so much i think about her every single day (the local library)
not to be librarian on main, but for everyone who relates to this post, please check your local libraryâs website.
it is the responsible thing right now for libraries to have their buildings closed, but many of us are still providing services including reference (thatâs librarian for âyou can ask us questions about anything and weâll find you relevant, accurate information or refer you to someone who canâ) and virtual programming. Our library also offers free telehealth counseling services with a licensed social worker. You might not know all the services your library is providing until you ask, so itâs worth reaching out!
Weâve noticed our reference stats dropping since we closed our physical doors and are thinking that people assume because weâre not at the building weâre not available, but we are still here for our community! Your librarians are probably there for you too. Please check their website and social media pages!
not to be childrenâs librarian on main, but please check your libraryâs facebook, twitter, and even instagram and youtube! my whole system is posting weekly follow-along programming like storytimes, painting classes, playing D&D online, and sharing resources to help get us all through this. like and share their content if you can! it really helps the branches out and gets our services out there.Â
