[LIBRARYDIR] [EXTERNAL]Re: Fall Plans Anyone?

Yes, from the college website, https://www.whatcom.edu/about-the-college/news-media/covid-19-information-and-resources:

“… the College will require all students taking in-person classes and employees to be fully vaccinated<https://www.cdc.gov/coronavirus/2019-ncov/vaccines/fully-vaccinated.html#vaccinated> against COVID-19, prior to the start of fall quarter classes. Students will be able to claim a medical, religious, or philosophical exemption from receiving the vaccine.”

Howard, out of curiosity, is your institution allowing for exemptions (specifically, the philosophical ones) for vaccinations?

Hi Dawn,

The plans are….

Are you going to be open regular days and hours? Yes, 8 am – 9 pm, Monday – Thursday; 8- 5 on Friday; and 5-9pm on Sunday.

Will you have any rules about study rooms? As yet to be determined but will probably open them up.

Reserves? Yes, but we changed reserves check out to one week last year and it will remain one week this fall.

Curbside/Pickups?  Yes, by request. We’ve had zero curb-side requests since allowing student and employees into the library.

Masks? Yes, required.

Physical distancing? Yes, still 6 ft.

Will you have any time or space limits in place for patron/staff interaction?  No, nor do we now.

We also require any student or employee on campus to be vaccinated. This info will be held in mini-soft (?) and accessible to the Learning Commons front desk staff where people will have to check in and attest as they enter the building.  And we are planning to be open to only students and employees. As an aside, I believe WWU library has announced it will allow in the public come September.

It sounds like you need a Pure Bliss pick-me-up!

Thanks

Howard

Hi Dawn,

I hear yah.  tired.

North is still negotiating on breadth of open hours.  College will have a mask mandate; required attestation before coming on campus, but no proof required of having completed the attestation.  Goal is to be a vaccinated campus...what that looks like will impact whether we have social distancing or limits on numbers in one space at one time.  Experimenting with a hybrid form of reference service, shorter hours of availability, but available both F2F (during physical open hours) and online (during a longer stretch of "open" hours).

Subject: [LIBRARYDIR] Fall Plans Anyone?

Hello, All,

I’m starting to get lots of questions about Fall, and I’m wondering if anyone feels like sharing their plans so far…

Are you going to be open regular days and hours?

Will you have any rules about study rooms?

Reserves?

Curbside/Pickups?

Masks?

Physical distancing?

Will you have any time or space limits in place for patron/staff interaction?

Because the variant.

I’m exhausted.
