Dear Colleagues,
We have received requests from libraries for help on developing policy around COVID-19 for library staff and patrons.  To that end we have found the following document from the Michigan State Library which seems to be very detailed and appears to use sound advice.  However, since we are not lawyers or public health officials we can’t stress enough that this document is just a jumping off point for your policy discussions.  You should review it with your attorney and your local Department of Health before using it to make any policy.
