Dear Colleagues,

On May 18th Governor Murphy revealed his road map for reopening New Jersey.  The reopening will happen in stages and we are currently in Stage 1 of 3.  Libraries are mentioned as being reopened in Stage 2.  Governor Murphy did not mention what criteria he would use to advance or retract stages.  More information from the news conference can be found here:
