I feel like we are also unclear at WWCC--almost in a holding pattern until some of the specific rules (as I understand them) going into effect winter quarter for now we're:

Does anyone have signage yet notifying their public of this new policy? Would you be willing to share it? We don’t get a lot of public visitors, so we are still debating this, but it would be nice to be ready to go if we decide on no public usage.

Hey all, a last minute update: the college's executive cabinet just announced non-student/employee visitors will not be able to use the library at this time! We may see a change in the future but are focused on ensuring the reopening goes well with the vaccination requirements we do have.

Hi Sarah,

SPSCC has prohibited community use since the pandemic started. We are now a vaccinated campus – and by that, we mean verified not just attested – and we are still limiting campus access/services to students, staff, and faculty only.

The enforcement of this policy is still a bit up in the air: I’m not comfortable asking our front desk staff to be in charge of vaccines and masks, but our security department is understaffed.

Good luck,

Amy

I was wondering, for those who are considered a “vaccinated campus,” how are your colleges/libraries addressing unvaccinated community members?

Hello all,

I added Shoreline to the spreadsheet earlier this week. Since the spreadsheet's creation we have become a core service for Fall quarter. This means we will be open 8-5 M-Th, and 8-12 Friday. The library will be listed as the main student hangout and campus commons for the 25% of classes that will be taught on campus. We will have additional virtual hours for those people who are not on campus and because last year's data demonstrated that people wanted evening services.

By being considered a core service people who will primarily staff the front desk will have to return to campus. I am happy to talk details with anyone who wants to know how we went from 0 to  49 (hours a week) and what processes we are doing as a library and campus to keep people safe.  My first month has been exciting.

Hi all,

I appreciate seeing what folks are planning for fall—thanks so much for sharing and thanks for Dawn for organizing into a handy spreadsheet. I haven’t shared Seattle Central’s plans because we were in flux just about the time this conversation began. That’s when the Seattle District pushed its general return to campus from Sept. 13 to Nov. 1, even though face-to-face instruction will mostly continue as scheduled.

I’m wondering if the plans posted to the google sheet have changed at all for you since you shared this information. Any changes since to your hours or other plans to open?

Thanks –

--Lynn

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

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…
