This week at the library; or, Holiday week

 I worked Monday, a half-day remotely on Tuesday, and at the library again on Wednesday. We were closed for the holiday Thursday - Friday, and then I worked Saturday. There's a lot of tension right now, with people traveling for the holidays or gathering in groups and concerns over the pandemic. Our school district made the difficult decision to go virtual for two days, Monday-Tuesday, and then extended that through the first week of December, in order to have some breathing space for the large number of people quarantined. Everyone is wondering if we'll make it through the last weeks before Christmas. A lot of our neighboring libraries are going back to curbside or closing, but our larger building has so far made it possible for us to remain open. Our staff were also generally relieved that the governor's mask mandate was extended. Although many people are not following it (especially in wearing masks correctly) it is some backup and that makes a difference.

Winter reading challenge videos (My editor took out some of my best bits, but has promised to put them in a blooper video. Heh heh heh.)

We're remote the week, but it doesn't seem likely that we will be back before the new year. Hope things go as well as they can for you.
