[Michlib-l] Curbside Service in light of Governor's Executive Order 2020-9 Closing Libraries

[Dave Ewick]

We ended up deciding to NOT have any drive through services as we would
just end up bringing people out who may be sick, and sharing any germs
that might be on the materials. 

We are trying to get patrons to hold onto what they have in the interest
of not spreading germs. 

Our staff should not be put at risk, either. 

Dave Ewick, Southfield PL

beverage using delivery service, window service, walk-up service,
drive-through service, or drive-up service, and to use precautions in
doing so to mitigate the potential transmission of COVID-19, including
social distancing."
