How the Moscow Public Library handled COVID-19

The Moscow Public Library was hit hard by COVID-19. On March 18, all locations of the Latah County Library District closed due to COVID-19 concerns. Library District Director Chris Sokol said they started shutting down after seeing that other businesses were in response to the pandemic. The American Library Association recommended that libraries close due to COVID-19 concerns.

However, they kept their staff employed and developed strategies to continue providing for their patrons.
