Of Interest

Chronogram published an article this morning titled "When Will Libraries Reopen?" In it, our own Hudson Area Library is featured, and library director Emily Chameides is quoted as saying, "Currently, libraries in the Capital Region are able to open if they are government facilities. Our library, and the majority of libraries in Columbia County, are association libraries and thus not permitted to open. We're not sure when the Capital Region will enter Phase Two, or if association libraries will even be included in that phase--and, if we are, what guidelines will be in place at that time."

In answer to the first unknown cited by Chameides, it was reported this morning that the Capital Region is on track to enter Phase Two on Wednesday, June 3. The answers to the other two questions--if association libraries are part of Phase Two and what guidelines will be in place--may still be unknown.
