Planning for Reopening Resources

ALA recognizes that factors impacting libraries' reopening processes will vary based on library type and location, yet there are many common criteria that all libraries will consider, from thoughtful training and phasing-in of onsite services, to health and safety measures that protect staff and community. Decisions about reopening will be made locally. This page is a resource for states and individual libraries planning for reopening. Check back for updates.
