uring the past few months, every person and business has needed to adapt in order to stay healthy and safe, and to navigate rules and new regulations resulting from the COVID-19 pandemic. The Port Washington Public Library (PWPL) has done an exceptional job of keeping their readers engaged and active despite being forced to close on March 13. For many weeks, the PWPL was not allowed to have their patrons inside, so they had to get creative, and quickly. The Port Washington Public Library was dedicated to keeping their patrons occupied in the early stages of the COVID-19 pandemic. “When we closed to the public March 13, we quickly pivoted to virtual programming and expanded our online resources, making more available and adding new ones like Kanopy, a digital streaming service [for movies and more], and converting our staff to remotely working,” Keith Klang, Director of the PWPL said. “We were luckily able to pivot really quickly, which was great for the entire community.” See rest of the story on page 10 Port Washington News (USPS 438-940) Postmaster: Send address changes to Long Island Community Newspapers, P.O.
