As you undoubtedly know, the city of Ottawa has closed all the libraries for some time. The message from the city is:
QuoteOPL branches, Bookmobile stops and Homebound delivery services are closed until June 30, 2020. The closure is in response to advice from Ottawa Public Health (OPH) with regards to COVID-19 (coronavirus) for the health and safety of our community. We will continue to monitor the situation and reassess as the situation evolves.
Since we can't (and shouldn't) have an in-person iMeeting, we plan to have online meetings at the regular times and dates using Zoom. Please join us!
