15:11:12 From cappleby : Nice Christmas tree, Janet 15:15:41 From Dani, Naples Library : Very nice! 15:26:12 From Pam Slattery-Thomas : Does it cover the one staff library ? 15:27:08 From Debra Lay : What about when the “person” is okay with sharing their name? 15:32:04 From Melissa Olson : Does this document include recommendations for collecting patron names for contact tracing? 15:35:27 From Lisa Shaw : "Prioritize confidentiality. Employers have the right to ask employees if they have symptoms or have been diagnosed with COVID-19 without violating the Americans with Disabilities Act, according to guidance from the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission. But they should never divulge the name of an infected employee to others at the workplace beyond those conducting the investigation."

From my perspective, we are all limited in services in the sense of 30 minute or less visits, etc. Thank you. 15:57:04 From Pam Dunning to Janet McKenney(Privately) : Is there a shared copy of your document n Metrics? I would like to share it with staff in Wiscasset at out next meeting. 15:59:10 From Carver Library : US CDC has a similar one to Covid Act Now: https://covid.cdc.gov/covid-data-tracker/#county-view 15:59:23 From Carver Library : Also shows by 100K, but at least it's apples to apples. 15:59:29 From David Weare : Federal Data Reveal Which Hospitals Are Dangerously Full This Week. Is Yours? https://www.npr.org/sections/health-shots/2020/12/09/944379919/new-data-reveal-which-hospitals-are-dangerously-full-is-yours 15:59:51 From Jeff : We are open for computer appointments only still. So that's limited services (no browsing, no checkout, no sitting, no programs etc etc) - curbside by mail is still the way we do it. So our services would be limited and we would choose that option. But you're right, I'm sure everyone has limitations in place, whether on some/all services. 16:01:02 From Brenda Lynn Gould : Thank you Jeff. 16:04:02 From Brenda Lynn Gould : Thank you Janet. 16:04:40 From Amy Levine : THank you, Janet 16:05:03 From Pam Slattery-Thomas : Thank you, Janet !! 16:05:10 From davismemoriallibrary : Thank you, Janet! Your tree is beautiful!! 16:05:41 From Karen Eger : This is all very helpful. I asked for this from my town and the process got canned when they were uncomfortable about asking people to stay home I think. I am on my own. 16:07:34 From Alice Olson : What percentage of libraries in Maine have gone back to curbside? 16:09:26 From Jeff : We prob don't know how many exactly have reverted to curbside only, unless we were to compare status lists of now vs previously. Seems like many have, based on list serv traffic. 16:09:32 From Alice Olson : I don't need the percentages-that info was great. Thank you! 16:09:54 From Quint : if there's no change do we need to report again? 16:11:06 From Karen Eger : They intend to wing it and I trust my plans better than their winging it! 16:11:49 From Heidi Libby at DML : Karen easier to ask for forgiveness... 16:14:00 From Brenda Lynn Gould : Karen that graphic was wonderful.
