COVID Closings - SWAN Update

by Dawne Tortorella

We are monitoring tickets as they come in this weekend. Many libraries are moving to a curbside model starting Monday. Rest assured that if your library is moving to curbside only service, the system is set to support that now - no immediate changes are required in the system. We will respond to tickets requesting change to curbside only service on Monday. If your library is closing all physical access, including curbside service, we will respond this weekend as tickets are reviewed. Please update SWAN on any change in status. We will update the Library Services Status<https://support.swanlibraries.net/members/library-services-status> page, based on your submission of the Library Status Update & Services Request Form<https://fs8.formsite.com/SWANServices/yzt7btkgmo/index.html?1595018812906>.

If your library is still down, please let us know by emailing help(a)swanlibraries.net<mailto:help@swanlibraries.net>. We'll post any updates or continued outages to the Known Issue<https://support.swanlibraries.net/node/81461> on our support site.
