[Michlib-l] Welcome stations for libraries open to the public

[Valerie Meyerson]

The first week we were opened, we had a small desk with a laptop next to this station. A staff member sat at that desk to welcome everyone in and explain our new protocol. We really felt it was helpful - mostly for the staff who was very nervous about the public coming back in. Now we just have the station up and the circulation staff - which people have to walk by to get into the library proper - monitoring and explaining the new protocol to people.

Subject: [Michlib-l] Welcome stations for libraries open to the public
Good morning!  This question is for any library that has already reopened to the public, or is planning to soon:

Do you have a "welcome" station for patrons when they first arrive in which they can get a rundown of new procedures, be provided a mask if they need one, etc.?  If so, could you share a photo with me or provide a description of what it will be like?

Thanks in advance!

Emily
