How the Moscow Public Library handled COVID-19
The Moscow Public Library was hit hard by COVID-19. On March 18, all locations of the Latah County Library District closed due to COVID-19 concerns. Library District Director Chris Sokol said they started shutting down after seeing that other businesses were in response to the pandemic.
