Abstract

It’s a vast understatement to say that the pandemic has changed numerous things for many people. As more people are getting vaccinated and looking forward to the “new normal,” what will library programs for the school-aged look like? What changes were made to library programs and services during the pandemic, and were these changes temporary, or have they permanently impacted the way we do things?

These are some of the questions we addressed to ALSC membership in an April 2021 survey; while response was light, here is a summary of what we learned.
