What role will your library have in tracking & tracing COVID?

I don't see anything in the Library Privacy Act that would allow us to
share patron names for purposes of contact tracing (e.g., if we had a
record of who had reserved a computer). Library employees are not protected
by the Library Privacy Act and we will give as much information as needed
in that case.

What are you planning?

Thanks,
Leslie
