Libraries have a responsibility to the public and their staff to close their doors effective immediately. Lives are at risk, @BKLYNlibrary @QPLNYC CC: @NYCMayorsOffice @NYCMayor @BPEricAdams

Brooklyn Public Library has made the decision to remain open, though our programs are suspended. After consulting with the City, we believe the value we bring to the borough, at a moment when people need reliable information more than ever, is too critical to close our doors.
