Observations from the Library
Director of AHMFL
It’s been great seeing so many of you in the library again this past month! We are happy to be open again even with these shorter hours. We still hope to reopen fully in June and need your input as to preferred days and hours. Please answer our survey on our website or come in and fill one out.
Most of the staff have been vaccinated at this point and we look forward to the time when everyone has gotten their vaccine. But wearing masks, sanitizing hands, keeping a social distance and quarantining the returned books will continue well into the future.

The Department of Veterans Affairs Office of Inspector General said the response was “insufficient and delayed,” and that the crisis line responder “failed to take action” to prevent the death. A Montana veteran suffering from schizophrenia started an online chat with the Veterans Crisis Line in 2019, saying he or she wanted to shoot a family member for taking away medications. The report does not identify the veteran and omits identifying factors, such as gender.
