Safety

We are a private association library.

Can a public library compel staff members to get vaccinations for COVID-19, when they are available? If so, can an employee request an exemption?

New state guidelines list face shields as acceptable face coverings:

We got lucky: an employee, who was asymptomatic at work but tripped one of the screening factors requiring him to stay home, was tested and found NEGATIVE for COVID-19.

Public and Association libraries have questions about making policies creating conditions that must be met for library staff to return to work.

Should an event occur, is it legal in NYS to institute a lockdown in a public library?

We have two individuals in our community, within 500 feet on either side of the library, that have been identified as sex offenders on the NYS website.

As part of a town bicentennial celebration, the committee wants to create a map of historic properties.
