New Online Resources From The Lincoln Library!
Look Below for Links to Help You Spend the Time.
Hello to the Lincoln Library Community,
Thank you for all the positive responses to my last letter, in which I had to close the library. It was a very difficult decision to make, and I am reminded, once again what a wonderful thriving library community we truly have. The commitment to meet our core mission is just as strong as ever. However, now we also have a dual mission of insuring the safety of our patrons. We need to be a bit more creative and stay informed in order to balance these in the best way possible.
As we work on this difficult task of developing new patterns to reduce the chances of rapid virus transmission by quarantine, social distancing, and clean surface practices, we plan to meet our mission in alternative ways. This is a great opportunity for us to increase our education and awareness around these already existing offerings, and to create new ones. We have taken a few days off to plan ahead, but will schedule staff work hours on a regular basis as soon as we can.
Please consult our website next week for those hours; staffed but not open to the public. (TBA )
