Tahun 2019 dan 2020 ini, seluruh masyarakat menghadapi suatu kondisi yang tidak menentu, tak terkecuali dengan instansi perpustakaan. Penyebaran virus corona yang saat ini sudah menjangkiti banyak negara, menganggu aktivitas masyarakat dan menunjukkan banyak spekulasi memang tidak dapat dihindari. Tidak heran jika kebijakan untuk menutup pusat keramaian, dan Pembatasan Sosial Berskala Besar (PSBB) pun banyak diterapkan di berbagai daerah untuk memutus mata rantai penyebaran virus. Sarana ruang publik yang berpotensi menimbulkan kerumunan pada akhirnya juga dibatasi. Salah satunya perpustakaan, sebagai lembaga yang berpusat pada layanan menjadi terhenti, dan mati. Seluruh layanan tatap muka (physical) tidak beroperasi. Kendaraan untuk perpustakaan keliling sebagai diseminasi informasi pun terjajar rapi di tempat parkir. Semua demi menanggulangi virus ini. Sejauh mana perpustakaan siap untuk menghadapi new normal? atau kebiasaan baru yang mulai diterapkan saat ini? Bagaimana mempersiapkan re[1]opening perpustakaan (membuka kembali layanan perpustakaan?), ada baiknya perpustakaan mempersiapkan segala hal yang berkaitan dengan prosedur pencegahan COVID-19.
