#CloseCPL - Twitter Hashtag

@chipublib safety protocols are wholly inadequate and endanger workers and patrons. If opening libraries to the public during an airborne pandemic is so safe, why don't the large majority of other cities do it? What evidence does @chicagosmayor have that they don't? #closecpl

3 branches closed in one day due to workers contracting COVID. Keeping @chipublib open to the public is a reckless policy that is harming workers and endangering patrons #closecpl

This is horrifying: https://t.co/Xlej8tPa7D @chicagosmayor @GovPritzker please #CloseCPL and help us stop the surge! Over 37 positive cases among library staff, and over half from the month of November. Chicagoans, call your alderman! #ProtectLibraryWorkers #ProtectOurPatrons

CPL cut security guards' hours at the branches, leaving library staff to enforce mask policy and capacity limits on top of other duties as people become increasingly hostile about these policies. #closecpl #protectlibraryworkers #protectourpatrons https://t.co/HisPe4Ga2e

Library buildings offer limited ventilation, despite leading research showing that COVID-19 is spread through aerosols that linger in the air. To #protectourpatrons and #protectlibraryworkers we need to #closecpl! https://t.co/HisPe4Ga2e

The 1 hour time limit at the libraries is NOT enforced. The CDC recommends less than 15 minutes of exposure to those who may have COVID, but people are staying for hours. Sign this petition & ask the mayor/library admin to #closecpl https://t.co/HisPe4Ga2e #protectlibraryworkers

Library workers spend hours searching for the best programs & resources for our communities. During this pandemic, the best resources are PPE & financial help. The best service is to #CloseCPL & keep patrons & workers safe. Sign this petition & share widely!

9 months into the pandemic, CPL still lacks some insufficient PPE - for example, locations not having enough plexiglass to cover service points that protect staff. Please #protectlibraryworkers and sign this petition asking the mayor to #closecpl https://t.co/HisPe4Ga2e

CPL cut custodians' hour in half at many neighborhood branches, at the same time that Chicago became the epicenter of the nation's pandemic. Sign this petition asking the mayor to #closecpl https://t.co/HisPe4Ga2e #protectlibraryworkers #protectourpatrons
