Without question, we're living in the
most challenging of times, coping with a
-
health crisis testing us like never
before. We've changed how we work and how
-
we live. These changes are not often easy
but they are vitally important. As a city,
-
we must remain vigilant and strong to
move on together. We're counting on you
-
to join us in helping to stop the spread
of this deadly virus. By diligently
-
following the guidance of medical
experts and social distancing now, we can
-
ensure this won't last forever. With 75
parks covering 4,000 acres and another
-
81 miles of trails, it's more than
possible to keep safe social distancing.
-
Please help us keep these public spaces
safe for all users. While library
-
buildings are closed, you can still dive
into the multitude of stories and
-
resources, all that we have to offer
online. Do you need internet access?
-
Simply pull up outside any of our
library locations and you can enjoy our
-
free public Wi-Fi while maintaining safe
distances of course. We're continuing the
-
essential services we provide like
picking up trash, yard waste and
-
recycling. And carefully moving forward
with the street, stormwater, sewer, bridge
-
and infrastructure improvements we
promised. At a time when our City's most
-
vulnerable populations are being
challenged the most, we're here to
-
protect your rights. And we need your help in protecting the men and women on the
-
front lines of this crisis. The work of
first responders never stops please stay
-
home and stay healthy so we can focus
our efforts on those who need them most.
-
With great trial comes great opportunity
for learning and growth. We are preparing
-
to come back stronger than ever because
together
-
together
-
together we can and we will get through
this, Des Moines. Stay home, stay healthy.
-
We must do our part.
