Webinar: I Didn’t Sign Up For This – Creating an Effective Pandemic Operation Plan
December 14, 2020 @ 2:00 pm - 3:30 pm EST
Webinar Description:
Pandemic librarianship is a challenge. Many of us in leadership are thinking, “This is not what I signed up for.” However, it is our job to rise to challenges and guide our organization forward. We do that through planning. A plan for library service during a pandemic is paramount, and for some of us, it is now mandated.
All libraries should be drafting a Pandemic Operations Plan (POP) now. In this workshop, we will cover what is mandated by the state. We will suggest additional information to add and implications for library policy. This includes questions you need to ask yourself, staff, and stakeholders, as well as suggestions on how such a plan should be formatted and successfully communicated.
