Libraries Providing Home COVID-19 Test Kits Face Challenges; Library Journal, February 15, 2022

 Lisa Peet, Library Journal; Libraries Providing Home COVID-19 Test Kits Face Challenges

"Libraries have been distributing masks throughout the pandemic. In 2021, they began partnering with local health departments to distribute test kits as well—at curbside, in parking lots, or in the building—with varying results. Particularly in late 2021 and January of this year, kits ran out almost immediately even as takers lined up for blocks. Communication from city and county health agencies was not always timely or accurate. And library workers once again found themselves on the front lines managing patron reactions and their own safety concerns."
