[Michlib-l] Exemption letter

Wed Mar 25 12:43:32 EDT 2020

This has been very helpful, and will ease the minds of my employees that are needed to go into the library.  There are only a couple of us, and we are not going very often, but this helps.  I will formulate a letter from the info provided and in accordance with the Governor’s Executive Order 2020-21 (COVID-19) for each of us to carry on us.
Thank you so much!

Have any of you written an exemption letter for these employees so they can still enter the buildings without fear of breaking the executive order?  If you have could you please share?
