Library Directors & Administrators-
While we do not know when libraries will begin a phased reopening, or what reopening even means at this point, having thoughts and concerns of the membership is important. Please share what your library is thinking and we will compile our collective information to see how we can work together.
You can access this survey from the news post:
https://support.swanlibraries.net/news/2020-04/70868
Please complete this survey by May 1st. We will issue follow-up surveys as we move forward.
If you have a written reopening plan (either completed or in your most current draft) and are able to share with SWAN colleagues, please submit to help(a)swanlibraries.net. We will post all shared plans with our membership.

Thanks to continued support and networking as we work together during these difficult times. Today's News Post https://support.swanlibraries.net/news/2020-04/70459 provides updates, reminders, and links to resources and recordings.
We are having important discussions regarding reopening and what that means for everyone. Your input is valued in helping build a unified plan. This planning is fluid and will be revised as we discuss and problem solve together.
Thanks for everything you are doing - our library community is strong and creative and very much appreciated.
