We have not had any indoor activities. We are still outside until November 17, and I still have half of my 55 registered patrons attending. I'm going to do Zoom for the short month of December (vacation and holidays), and fingers crossed, small groups inside in January. Our only meeting room is not that big and I'm hopeful our town will have increased in getting vaccinations especially for my younger ones' older siblings. Lina, I live in Warren County and I'm really concerned with the low numbers of people getting vaccinated..... Good luck and good care!

I'm interested in hearing this, too. We have not yet been allowed to schedule programs in the meeting room. Attendance at virtual programs has dropped significantly, especially for the younger kids and while it has been okay with outdoor programs, as you say it's getting cold. I doubt parents want to sit outside in the cold for storytime and I certainly don't want to sit outside in the cold to read.

Hi all, curious about libraries that have begun offering storytimes indoors again. What have your experiences been? We have slowly been transitioning adult and school-aged programs into our meeting rooms but still have concerns about the little guys. Any words of encouragement are appreciated… it’s getting cold and winter is coming…
