Hi all,
CBC is an unvaccinated campus for fall and our previous "reopening" date for student services was recently pushed from September 7th to October 18th. Additional details regarding our plans have been added to the spreadsheet.
Thank you,

And SPSCC's:
Are you going to be open regular days and hours?
M-F, 8 a.m.-5 p.m.
Will you have any rules about study rooms?
We aren't opening the study rooms
Reserves?
We aren't doing many reserves: we've been checking them out all quarter, but now we'll move to in-house use only.
Curbside/Pickups?
No
Masks?
Yes, masks are required on campus, vaccinated or not
Physical distancing?
Unless things change by state/federal order, no physical distancing.
Will you have any time or space limits in place for patron/staff interaction?
No, but we are encouraging virtual interactions for longer research questions, even if the librarian and patron are in the library. Whatever makes them both comfortable.

Here's TCC's approach to your questions, Dawn:
Are you going to be open regular days and hours?
We plan to open M-F, 8 a.m.-5 p.m. in the Fall
Will you have any rules about study rooms?
No study room use although there are group cubicles in the main area that groups can use
Reserves?
Yes, students can enter the library when they want to check in/out reserves
Curbside/Pickups?
No
Masks?
Yes, masks are required on campus, vaccinated or not
Physical distancing?
I don't believe this is a requirement anymore since we are a vaccinated college, but we will continue to practice some form of physical distancing in the library, whether at the front counter for students waiting to check out materials or in the use of every other computer in the library.
Will you have any time or space limits in place for patron/staff interaction?
No, just encouraging staff to practice social distancing when they can.

As of right now, our unions still have not negotiated with administration despite the administration announcing that the college would be requiring vaccinations in the fall, so there's a lot that's up in the air.
Still, here's what our plan is for the library at this point:
* Open less than pre-pandemic due to staffing cuts. Probably M-Th 9am-6pm; F 9am-1pm or something similar.
* Study rooms have been open with a limit of one group per day, during the summer. Social distancing requirements are apparently going away in the fall and if that happens, we may adjust. See masks below.
* Reserves are and will continue to be available.
* Curbside has declined significantly since we reopened this quarter. We will probably discontinue all curbside services except for printing, which we may do since we've been covering all student printing costs with the bookstore closed (the bookstore is responsible for re-up cards for student printing).
* Masks will continue to be required by all at the college, even after vaccination requirements. Masks work, by the way. Spread the news.
* We've removed all in-person librarian consultation during the summer but will probably bring it back in the fall.
* But yes, the variant.
* So all these points may be moot or mutated.

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.
