After more than a year of COVID-caused imperatives, the staff of the Hudson Public Library is welcoming limited patrons back to its stacks. Head librarian Aileen Sanchez-Himes said capacity of 12 patrons may visit for 20 minutes for general library business, or 30-minute access to the library computers, after they have contacted the library or registered online. Glass partitions are being installed at the service and reference desks.
With the recent closing of the children’s room due to steam pipe breakage, many of the children’s books and services have moved upstairs to the main library, according to children’s librarian Jillian Bennett. “Every one of the children’s room team has done a really incredible job bringing library services to families during this time,” said Bennett, “and I look forward to having patrons back here as soon as possible.”

Encouraging the Anti-Vaxxers
The decision to “pause’’ the Johnson & Johnson one-shot COVID-19 vaccine is unfortunate. After all, only a minuscule number of people (six out of 6.8 million as of last Tuesday) who have been jabbed with it have gotten blood clots.
