In response to the COVID 19 pandemic, all RCLS Member Libraries closed their doors in mid-March, 2020. Now, following Phase 1 and Phase 2 guidelines for the Mid-Hudson region, libraries are taking the steps needed to reopen, with limited services. RCLS is compiling a list of each library's reopening status. In general, libraries will first be accepting returns only. Then curbside pickup will be offered, and online holds can be placed on local-library holdings only.

The next Decennial Census will take place in 2020. By April 1, 2020, the U.S. Census Bureau will have sent out invitations to participate in the 2020 Census, in an effort to count every person living in the United States, as mandated by the U.S. Constitution.
