Chicago Public Libraries closing 61 locations as ‘fearful’ city workers union blasts decision to keep 20 open – Chicago Tribune

“Keeping a limited number of libraries open during limited hours will ensure that we provide for those who have no other place to go for basic access to the internet or other resources,” said Department of Public Health Commissioner Alison Arwady. “We are confident that CPL can provide these services in a way that is safe and sanitary for library employees and patrons alike. Still, we continue to urge Chicagoans to stay home unless they absolutely must go out so that we can continue to work to limit the spread of COVID-19.”
