[Michlib-l] Covid, again

[Kat Boyer]

The BHPL has decided to move to curbside for book service, but still allow
people in for computers and the copier/fax machine.  This will start on
Monday January 10 and is due in part to the rising level of Covid in the
community (the spread has been over 40% for the last two days according to
our local hospital) and because my library is facing a devastating staff
shortage.

We will continue to reassess the situation and this will hopefully be only
in place for a short time.
