I'll try to hop on for an hour sometime tomorrow mid-late afternoon, if I am able.

Thanks Rhonda!

Most libraries that are closing early today will be gone at 3, so we may
need some help at that time.

Right now it looks like all of the East Coast libraries will be closed
tomorrow and a good portion of the Orlando area libraries will be as well.
We have our AAL Practitioner, Kira, helping out on the state-wide desk
until 3 that day, but we could always use more help on there. Our academic
desk is pretty well staffed and I've seen some responses from libraries
helping to cover there - so I'm not as concerned about that desk.

Any time you're able to hop on and help is fine. I'll be keeping an eye on
the numbers as much as I can tomorrow and I'll send out requests for help
then as well.

Thank you to everyone who has offered to cover so far!
