$74,000 in passport revenue accepted "Libraries have had a difficult time during COVID," Library Director Holly Albanese said during a Flagler County Commission meeting March 15. "Many libraries across the nation closed when it all happened, and it's no different in the state of Florida. Many libraries did close, and there are some libraries that are still closed to this day." Not Flagler's: The county library closed on March 17, 2020, but then immediately started a curbside service, reopened at 25% capacity in May 2020 and 50% capacity in June 2020, and added some evening hours for K-12 student. The library remains on limited hours: 57 hours per week at the main branch on Palm Coast Parkway, and 40 hours per week at the Bunnell branch on Moody Boulevard. Only about 30 of the library's 150 pre-COVID volunteers have been active.
