I'll gather what info I can and send it out. 15:22:26 From Chris Dorman to Janet McKenney(Privately) : How are you and holly doing? 15:22:33 From Susie Strout to Janet McKenney(Privately) : Jeff is putting a map together for #studyincar sites that have wireless available but he would like permission from each library if they would like to be put on the list. Or on the map unless you have a map already? 15:24:40 From Emily Marie Colucci : Will this webinar be archived/available to us after viewing the LIVE? 15:24:55 From Jared : This webinar is being recorded, yes. 15:24:57 From Lisa.M.Shaw : It is being recorded, so yes. :) 15:25:18 From MSampson to Janet McKenney(Privately) : Hi Janet - in listening to Gov Mills' press cong 15:26:55 From Christina Bell : Portland issued a shelter at home order following the governor’s press conference. 15:27:10 From MSampson to Janet McKenney(Privately) : conference ...and she talked about essential services. That businesses close to the public but can be working inside (with precautions). Most importantly, she talked about curbside and delivery! 15:27:11 From Matthew Graff : Do we have a number of how many libraries are closed at this point? 15:27:30 From Lisa.M.Shaw : Janet does 15:28:00 From Lisa.M.Shaw : *Janet McKenney 15:29:41 From MSampson : Gov Mills mentioned 2 things that caught my attention - 1. you may be apply to be classified as an essential service maine.gov/essentialservice 15:29:42 From Cara Sawyer : LOL...we heard you Jamie! 15:31:09 From Lisa.M.Shaw : @MSampson - Yes, good resource 15:31:12 From MSampson : Gov Mills also used the example of book stores - that they would need to be closed to the public but can be filling orders and deliveries - or doing curbside. 15:31:19 From Emily Jackson Sanborn : where is the site Janet is referencing? 15:31:37 From Kara Library : https://www.maine.gov/msl/libs/services/Coronavirus.htm 15:33:25 From klattari : so we can do curbside pickup if we practice social distancing? 15:33:29 From MSampson : I don't see why we cannot be delivering on doorsteps 15:33:43 From klattari : Like leave the bags on a table and let people pick them up? 15:33:51 From MSampson : Esp at a time when we may be facing layoffs or furloughs 15:33:52 From Holly Williams : I can see the doorsteps, but we don't want people to come out if they don't need to. 15:33:56 From quint : anything on air purifying - yes or no? 15:34:25 From John Shannon : Agreed Holly 15:34:47 From MSampson : If there is NO face to face contact 15:34:59 From MSampson : Drop and deliver 15:36:06 From stacey.brownlie@maine.edu : I missed the beginning, will there be a summary of what you shared, Janet? 15:36:26 From Lisa.M.Shaw : @stacey - Yes, this is being recorded 15:36:29 From klattari : stacy: Note on Curbside and Various Book Pick Up Options MSL asks that libraries offering drive up, curbside and/or stop by book delivery service to please review this information and consider distancing, exposure as well as processes for handling returned items. From the NIH: “…to slow the stealthy spread of this new coronavirus is a full implementation of social distancing. What exactly does social distancing mean? Well, for starters, it is recommended that people stay at home as much as possible, going out only for critical needs like groceries and medicines, or to exercise and enjoy the outdoors in wide open spaces. Other recommendations include avoiding gatherings of more than 10 people, no handshakes, regular handwashing, and, when encountering someone outside of your immediate household, trying to remain at least 6 feet apart.” 15:36:36 From klattari : whoops 15:36:41 From klattari : i meant to put the URL link 15:37:26 From KWebber : What about patron privacy? How are libraries labelling bags/items for patrons so the patrons know which ones to take? What prevents other patrons from taking the wrong bag? 15:37:36 From Jeff Cabral : I believe she referred to curbside primarily for essential services. She also said 'now is not the time to shop' and referred to going out only for essential purposes. It is a hard call for every locality esp with the variety of pressures libraries are being put under by their funders. 15:37:50 From Rich Boulet to Janet McKenney(Privately) : If Gov. Mills mentioned a time frame for her mandated closure of public-facing facilities, I missed it. I realize that things could change, but I thought she mentioned an end date for the current order? 15:37:53 From stacey.brownlie@maine.edu : Many thanks! 15:39:18 From Alisia : Yes, I agree with Jeff in the interpretation of governor mills. She specifically said not to buy non-essential materials, including things like clothes. 15:39:19 From Janet McKenney : 234 Public libraries confirmed closed. 15:39:48 From james.jacksonsanborn@maine.edu : I might also suggest anyone doing this also remember that the library worker might be contagious and there could be a risk to the person picking up the items. I would hate for an elderly/at risk person getting sick by partaking in library services. 15:40:10 From Mindy : Guilford Memorial Library set up a box at our local grocery store with agreement from the store of books we have weeded that we don't want back and we refill as needed so patrons make no extra trips as they do need groceries and we don't over exposed any staff to the virus and patrons still get books. 15:40:33 From Jeff Cabral : Absolutely right James 15:41:05 From Sara : That's a choice the patron will need to make, if they want to take that risk or not. 15:41:17 From stacey.brownlie@maine.edu : Do we now if all academic libraries are now closed? 15:41:20 From jenniferkelley : Agree with Jeff, the Governor was very explicit regarding essential services. 15:41:23 From Jenn : Mindy, But those books are being handled by numerous people at a grocery store. You've just created a risk for EVERY person that looks at those books. 15:41:23 From Jeff Cabral : Having a box at a local grocery store is a great idea. 15:42:10 From Jeff Cabral : true, as long as they were handled properly ... so hard, so many unknowns 15:42:18 From Bernie A. : York County Community College Library is working online, offering research to students via LibChat and LibAnswers 15:42:57 From stacey.brownlie@maine.edu : Closed meaning physical facilities 15:43:04 From Ann Dyer : Same with Maine Maritime Academy library! 15:43:13 From MSampson : If I'm faced w laying off people or delivering materials (no face to face), as long as I'm taking super-duper care (but if books are packaged while wearing gloves, I don't see a need).. 15:43:13 From Deborah Clark : The academic institutions have all moved to online instruction. No building access. 15:43:16 From Lauren Rettig : Colby Libraries are closed 15:43:16 From Bernie A. : our physical facility is closed 15:43:17 From stacey.brownlie@maine.edu : Obviously we’re still providing all of our services 15:43:21 From Jenna Davis : Same with UNE! 15:43:24 From Krystie Wilfong : CBB is closed 15:43:33 From Jerry Lund : Fogler Library, University of Maine, is closed to the public and minimally staffed. 15:43:34 From Joanne Langerman : SMCC also online offering reference service 15:44:06 From Mary Lou : Do you think libraries can try to hold off on laying off folks. Maybe have limited hours for a little while until things even out again? A shame if people lose their jobs. 15:44:16 From Thomas College : Thomas College Library is closed. We are online only at this point 15:44:27 From James Allard : CMCC also offering online services 15:44:44 From Ann Dyer : I don't think we got a request to fill out our status in a form - if that gets distributed or you let us know who/how to inform of our status, we'll be happy to! 15:44:58 From Jared : You have to vet ANY story that Adam tells you! 15:45:18 From Lisa.M.Shaw : @Ann Dyer - just email Janet.McKenney@maine.gov 15:45:44 From Irene at Witherle : My son teaches in Austin TX, and while they are disinfecting schools while on break, they are also saying they have applied a anti-viral mist that is supposed to last for weeks. 15:46:13 From Andrea DeBiase : Today Show is talking about LFLs putting food items on the shelves instead of books; we cleaned out the books to reduce spread. Would putting in essentials like TP and food items be acceptable? 15:47:45 From Mary Lou : Thank you Jamie! 15:47:59 From MSampson : Thank you for the feedback, Jamie 15:48:09 From Lisa.M.Shaw : @Andrea - Can you define LFLs? 15:48:25 From james.jacksonsanborn@maine.edu : Little Free Libraries 15:48:31 From Lisa.M.Shaw : Thank you!!!! 15:49:25 From Andrea DeBiase : We could change them to Little Free Food Pantries? 15:49:55 From MSampson : Tim ROCKS!!!! 15:50:05 From Jen De salme : Ooooo 15:50:14 From Holly Williams : http://www.littlefreepantry.org/ 15:50:14 From Cara Sawyer : Awesome!

Ancestry is now open at home? 15:51:13 From James Ritter : Yes courtney 15:51:13 From Mary Lou : Are you $$ taking donations for cloud library collection? I thought I saw something about that. 15:51:21 From Julie Hoyle : How do we get the URL that we need? 15:51:25 From quint : can we put the ancestry link on our webpage 15:52:54 From Courtney Sparks : cool - thanks! 15:53:27 From James Ritter : We can get specific URL... for now, library.digitalmaine.org and have users access Ancestry from there. 15:53:30 From Heather Runnels, Auburn Public Library : Thanks so much for beefing up CloudLibrary. There are so many more books to choose! 15:53:40 From liz davis : Wow!! 15:54:10 From Deborah Lavoie : I am so grateful that I can offer my students the Cloud Library! This has been such a great platform for them! 15:55:38 From Mary Lou : Where do we pledge again? 15:55:38 From Cara Sawyer : That's AMAZING!!!! <3 15:56:20 From alevine : that'll be over $100,000 added 15:56:33 From Holly Williams : Ask your Friends group to help! 15:56:34 From Matt DeLaney : Movie streaming services? 15:57:05 From Hope Rumpca-Shafer : Can we make personal pledges? 15:57:31 From pamela.bobker@maine.edu : I see the lost in the stacks! 15:58:01 From Andrea DeBiase : matt Kanopy.com for libraries 15:59:10 From Mamie Ney : Maine will have a chance to find the next Stephe4n King ! 15:59:26 From Julie Hoyle : Tubie.com is a free app that patrons can download for movie content 15:59:36 From Matt DeLaney : Any efficiencies gained by consortial purchasing of something like kanopy? 16:00:31 From James Ritter : Matt -- looked into it and Kanopy was reluctant 16:00:58 From James Ritter : We can revisit consortia pricing 16:01:02 From Barb Rehmeyer : Does anyone know how the Recorded Books online works? 16:01:04 From Janet McKenney : We will look into statewide Kanopy cost matt 16:01:11 From Catherine Morrison : you can share your private cloud, Scarborough and others do 16:01:43 From Steve : Private Cloud items that aren't checked out or on hold by the owning library's patrons are available to other Cloudlibrary participants. 16:01:45 From stacey.brownlie@maine.edu : U of Maine System has Kanopy, there are several ways to do it with pricing but bottom line it can get pricey fast 16:02:12 From Holly Williams : Amazon is currently allowing their children's shows to be free for anyone 16:02:13 From Bernie A. : about Hoopla? 16:02:21 From Mamie Ney : Sharing Kanopy would be great. We keep increasing our allocation, since it's so popular. 16:03:09 From c.herpers : In a private cloud, content goes in priority to the library's patrons, but if it's not checked out and on hold, that content is also visible to patrons of other libraries 16:04:45 From Mary Lou : Thank you! 16:04:48 From Cara Sawyer : BONUS!!! 16:04:48 From LG : How many titles do you get for the $1,000 sign on price in private cloud? 16:06:11 From james.jacksonsanborn@maine.edu : Title prices vary super wildly-- some are $8 some are $95-- so how many titles you get for 1,000 is variable 16:06:44 From Cara Sawyer : I have cars in my lot ALL day!

Does anyone know more about about stats? 16:10:36 From michelle conroy : Where are we suppose to list our library which has free internet access 16:10:37 From Jared : SSID just means the name of the network. 16:10:49 From james.jacksonsanborn@maine.edu : SSID is the name of your wifi network 16:10:54 From Parker Smith : The SSID is the name of your network.
