Michigan Public Libraries: Re-opening Considerations after closures during the Covid-19 Pandemic


The Michigan Cooperative Association developed a document to list considerations for libraries in Michigan when re-opening their buildings to the public.

Intent, Scope and Purpose of this document:

Intent–to identify areas of concern that member libraries may need to address when determining temporary procedures upon reopening to the public.

Scope–to consider what type and level of measures would be needed to protect the staff and the public.

Purpose–to generate a list of possible issues that a reasonable person would generally find to be of concern in the current COVID-19 work environment. The list shall be representative in nature only and is not meant to be exhaustive; the administrators of member libraries are encouraged to consult with the director of their county health department and legal counsel for further information on requirements.
