Libraries have a responsibility to the public and their staff to close their doors effective immediately. Lives are at risk, @BKLYNlibrary @QPLNYC CC: @NYCMayorsOffice @NYCMayor @BPEricAdams

[Urban Librarians Unite @ULUNYC]

If @NYCMayorsOffice wants public libraries open during the COVID-19 crisis, we ***NEVER*** want to hear that we aren't essential services during budget season again. And you can count on us shouting that from the rooftops.

[New York Times Arts @nytimesarts]

The Metropolitan Museum of Art announced that it will temporarily close starting Friday, March 13, “to support New York City’s effort to contain the spread of COVID-19” https://t.co/7Z5x8iSj8i

CORRECTION: NEWS: Out of an abundance of caution, all Library of Congress buildings & facilities will be closed to the public starting at 5 p.m. today until Wed., April 1, 2020 to reduce the risk of transmitting COVID-19 coronavirus. MORE: https://t.co/EKfxsmiPq3 #coronavirus

[PALA (Pratt ALA) @pala_pratt]

If anyone has interest in or ideas for ways we can facilitate virtual hangs or discussions or, well, anything, let us know.

[PALA (Pratt ALA) @pala_pratt]

Not surprising following @PrattInstitute's announcement of cancelled/virtual classes, but we just received this announcement that we are to cancel all club meetings and events until further notice.
