00:00:09,120 --> 00:00:13,650
Without question, we're living in the
most challenging of times, coping with a

3
00:00:13,650 --> 00:00:17,730
health crisis testing us like never
before. We've changed how we work and how

4
00:00:17,730 --> 00:00:23,759
we live. These changes are not often easy
but they are vitally important. As a city,

5
00:00:23,759 --> 00:00:29,160
we must remain vigilant and strong to
move on together. We're counting on you

6
00:00:29,160 --> 00:00:33,720
to join us in helping to stop the spread
of this deadly virus. By diligently

7
00:00:33,720 --> 00:00:37,649
following the guidance of medical
experts and social distancing now, we can

8
00:00:37,649 --> 00:00:42,690
ensure this won't last forever. With 75
parks covering 4,000 acres and another

9
00:00:42,690 --> 00:00:46,859
81 miles of trails, it's more than
possible to keep safe social distancing.

10
00:00:46,859 --> 00:00:51,570
Please help us keep these public spaces
safe for all users. While library

11
00:00:51,570 --> 00:00:56,010
buildings are closed, you can still dive
into the multitude of stories and

12
00:00:56,010 --> 00:01:00,680
resources, all that we have to offer
online. Do you need internet access?

13
00:01:00,680 --> 00:01:04,980
Simply pull up outside any of our
library locations and you can enjoy our

14
00:01:04,980 --> 00:01:10,290
free public Wi-Fi while maintaining safe
distances of course. We're continuing the

15
00:01:10,290 --> 00:01:13,650
essential services we provide like
picking up trash, yard waste and

16
00:01:13,650 --> 00:01:19,050
recycling. And carefully moving forward
with the street, stormwater, sewer, bridge

17
00:01:19,050 --> 00:01:23,400
and infrastructure improvements we
promised. At a time when our City's most

18
00:01:23,400 --> 00:01:26,940
vulnerable populations are being
challenged the most, we're here to

19
00:01:26,940 --> 00:01:31,860
protect your rights. And we need your help in protecting the men and women on the

20
00:01:31,860 --> 00:01:36,780
front lines of this crisis. The work of
first responders never stops please stay

21
00:01:36,780 --> 00:01:41,310
home and stay healthy so we can focus
our efforts on those who need them most.

22
00:01:41,310 --> 00:01:47,220
With great trial comes great opportunity
for learning and growth. We are preparing

23
00:01:47,220 --> 00:01:50,500
