The Responsibilities and Challenges of Reopening Libraries in NYS Webinar
Tuesday, June 16, 2020 at 1:30 – 3:00pm

REGISTER HERE

Public libraries have been given permission to reopen with restrictions as part of NY Forward’s phase one in the reopening process. What does this mean for you, your library, and your community? If you do decide to reopen as part of this phase, where should you begin? Hear from directors of both libraries and library systems in rural and urban regions across New York State. They will discuss the challenges of reopening their libraries, the services their libraries are offering, and how they are ensuring that the library is safe for both their staff and patrons.

Featuring: 
Lauren Moore, State Librarian
Jeremy Johannesen, Director of NYLA
Stephanie Cole Adams, The Law Office of Stephanie Adams, PLLC
Michelle La Voie, Director of the Olean Public Library
Christian Zabriskie, Executive Director of Onondaga County Library System

Mary Lou Carolan, Assistant Director of Newburgh Public Library
Casey Conlin, Library Sustainability Coordinator of Mid-Hudson Library System
