To protect the health of CUNY's students and employees, and to help slow the spread of COVID-19 across New York City (and beyond), CUNY must close their physical library spaces. All CUNY libraries provide remote access to databases and many thousands of e-journals and e-books. Further, all CUNY libraries offer robust research services online. CUNY's Council of Chief Librarians and Interim University Dean for Library Services have issued strong statements requesting central leadership on this matter. Sign this petition to endorse their statements (full statements included in the petition). https://actionnetwork.org/petitions/close-all-cuny-libraries-now
