The failure to close the Northeastern Illinois Library is a grave public health risk for our precious librarians and students. Decisions about the closure of NEIU libraries are being left to campus administrators, and some are still not taking prompt, strong, decisive action. To protect the health of NEIU's students and employees, and to help slow the spread of COVID-19 across Chicago (and beyond), NEIU must close their physical library spaces. All NEIU libraries provide remote access to databases and many thousands of e-journals and e-books. Further, all NEIU libraries offer robust research services online.
