The year <strong>2020</strong> challenged us like no other. The onset of<br />

COVID-19 brought a halt to everyone’s usual daily activities<br />

as well as special occasions like weddings, school graduations<br />

and large family gatherings. Schools, businesses, government<br />

facilities and libraries were forced to close their doors<br />

because of the contagious nature of the disease.<br />

Gail Borden Library closed to the public March 14 and would<br />

remain closed until July 6. These three-and-a-half months<br />

challenged us to find new ways to bring materials and<br />

services to library customers.<br />

Staff members in all library divisions and departments<br />

supported the myriad of challenges that faced the library<br />

district from cleaning, to ensuring appropriate technology<br />

was available, to supporting new ways to deliver services - it<br />

took literally all minds, hearts and hands to safely serve this<br />

community in <strong>2020</strong>.<br />
