[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Please write to the library and to your city council member to let them know how you feel. I have several friends who work for the DCPL and I know that they feel that the library admin and the mayor pushed for reopening the buildings too soon. Most other library systems in major urban areas are still doing just curbside. Also, its ridiculous that the library system didn't want to publicly announce that a staff member had tested positive. That put the whole community they are trying to serve at risk.

I'm sorry to hear that. There is nothing worse than getting set up to fail (or get sick). I especially chuckled (not in a mean way, but worth an eyeroll) over the supposed 2-3 PM cleaning protocol that they aren't hiring and paying janitors to do.  In that case, why claim to employees and the public that it's a thing? This as we have watched school re-opening planning all summer, with similar promises. If DCPL can't do it, DCPS certainly can't (I'm a former DCPS teacher). I am all for limited curbside service. We are in a global pandemic and prioritizing the core service of safe book flow makes sense.[/quote]
