Citing omicron, some libraries curtail their hours and curb some services again
Fox News
As the omicron variant of COVID-19 continues spreading early in this New Year, some public libraries are opting to reduce their days or hours of operation — here's a sampling.
"Public libraries provide opportunities for collaboration between students, staff, and community stakeholders."
In a "service update," the New York Public Library (NYPL) recently announced, for example, that it is "pausing all in-person programming and events at our locations until January 31, 2022."
On its website, it says that "while our branches are still offering general library use and seating, unlimited browsing, laptop and computer access, and more — staffing shortages are impacting some locations."
