Even with the horror of a global pandemic, the Library still managed act like a Library. It took a bit getting used to not being able to come in and graze, but we still had plenty of new books. You might have learned how to use our on line catalogue. You got used to coming to the outside bin and looking for a bag or envelope for your materials. We might have delivered materials right to you! You might have sent things through the slot to be faxed or copied. We did those things. Our magazines still came, you might have asked we set aside some for you to pick up or picked through the pile at the Food Pantry. You might have needed a book that we didn’t have, and after a bit, Inter Library Loan services resumed and we were able to get it for

you. The Island Directory was published and sold. Our wireless internet cranked along each and every day; some of you set up portable offices with your lawn chairs out back. Even though we packed away our dinosaurs, trains and puzzles, we were still able to check them out. Little packets of craft supplies also found their way to houses.We still sold copier paper and envelopes.We made recommendations and suggestions for living with COVID (hello Otto’s!). The only thing we didn’t do too much of was lend out movies (hello Netflix and Disney +), but not to worry, they are still here! You will be able to check everything out again. In the meantime, what do you want to read, or what can we do for you?
