[CASL-L] reopening plans?

Hello!

I have been told that students will not be coming to the library so no
makerspace for now (unless I figure out some mobile, safe options) but I
will be able to deliver books to advisories in the morning.  And I
suggested (based on a Barb Johnson idea) to have a iPad in every classroom
with a google meet link that students and teachers could use to connect
with me in the library since I probably won't be super mobile during the
day.  I am thinking of all the ways I can join classrooms virtually such as
Shannon, Dave, and I were doing during distance teaching (Live from the
Library episodes, and author visits).

I am also going to be asking for 5 tubs for book returns--one for each
day--to be able to let them sit for the recommended time period before
checking them in and recirculating.

Other than than, not sure what's going to happen but doing my best to
remain optimistic and tell myself it's temporary.
