I'm the 2020-2021 MiALA (Michigan Academic Library Association) President, and would like to advise that we have a
<a href="https://miala.org/library_reopening.php" title="https://miala.org/library_reopening.php">
reopening plan repository</a> on our website. We are asking that, if you have permission to share it publicly, you add your reopening plan to the repository. We welcome all academic plans, whether they are from a community college, publicly funded, private
or out of state. You also do not need to be a MiALA member to use the repository.<br>

<br>
</div>
<div style="font-family: Calibri, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt; color: rgb(0, 0, 0);">
The intentions with the repository are to enable academic libraries to benchmark current practices in libraries similar to their own, and also have a data set for scholars to access in the future.
