If anyone is looking for an excellent example of how the COVID-19 crisis has changed our lives and culture, one only needs to know that the Talbot County Free Library recently increased the number of books one can check out to fifty. That’s right; from the days when most could only check out one or two books at a time, you can now show up with shopping bags to bring home dozens of books.
Aimed primarily to help students study at home, this is just one of many ways that the TCFL staff are adjusting to the needs of patrons during the coronavirus crisis.
The Spy sat down with two of the Library’s team working the front lines during this challenging time. Both Laura Powell, TCFL’s Youth Services Librarian, and Jo Powers, its Information Services Librarian, have been working double-time to find creative ways to help students with homework, seniors needing reading material, or making online resources available for those seeking employment or government assistance.
This video is approximately three minutes in length. For more information about the Talbot County Free Library’s eResources offerings please go here.
