There is so much to say about Jay, who interned with me at @BCLibrary. He brought care & curiosity to everything he did, and kindness & generosity to every interaction. And he wrote really, really good letters. His goodness shone. RIP, Jay.

Library workers are being screwed over during the pandemic with layoffs, reassignment to higher-risk jobs and elaborate PPE-wasting systems for delivering curbside pickups. Here's how they are fighting back https://t.co/KLtVz3H6H5

At least seven Chicago library branches didn’t open or closed early Wednesday because not enough staff showed up to work

Staff at Chicago Public Library’s Edgewater branch, among the busiest in the city, walked off the job Wednesday afternoon, forcing the branch’s closure. https://t.co/bc6oKZ0Dg5

- Closed our offices and moved to remote work
- Stopped all staff and community travel
- Cancelled all events until WHO declares the pandemic over
- Committed to paying hourly/contract workers in full.... (3/13)

I never thought I would be *so* relieved to close down a library. Breathing a bit better now.

396 people have urged @CUNYChancellor @CUNYProvost & @BobMaruca to move all CUNY libraries to online-only. Help us top 400 before we deliver the petition in the AM? @CUNY #CloseCUNY #CloseCUNYLibraries #CUNYCovid2019 https://t.co/BcelgxTDH6

LibraryThing is now free to all. Half of Twitter is trapped at home, with nothing to do but catalog your books. And everyone is worried about money. So we're going free. Enjoy!

[Jennifer Schuessler @jennyschuessler]

Yesterday, the American Library Association called on all US libraries to close to the public. Now, the association of academic & research libraries has done the same — and also echoes the @ALALibrary’s call that all staff remain fully paid

[Dr Aisha Ahmad @ProfAishaAhmad]

Academic peeps: I've lived through many disasters. Here is my advice on "productivity". First, play the long game. Your peers who are trying to work as normal right now are going to burn out fast. They're doomed. Make a plan with a longer vision. /1

[Tim “Theophilus” Johnson MA MATS BSI @UMNBookworm]

Note to MLIS students soon entering the job market: keep a list of libraries that closed during the pandemic, w/ staff working remotely, who displayed compassion for employees & another list of those who didn't. You'll want to apply & work with folks in the first list.

[Jill Cirasella @jillasella]

Time to repeat myself again! We at @cunyGClibrary are working remotely, offering robust svcs online. Other @CUNY lib workers are STILL expected on campus. This (growing!) petition is one way to support them: https://t.co/BcelgxTDH6 #CloseCUNY #CloseCUNYLibraries #CUNYCovid19
