Baker & Taylor safety procedures in place to keep team members and library partners healthy amid COVID-19 reopening

CHARLOTTE, N.C., October 12, 2020 - To Our Valued Library Partners,

Baker & Taylor is committed to our library partners as we collectively begin to recover from the SARS-CoV-2 (COVID-19) pandemic. As many states and counties reopen community services and businesses, we are ready to support your library.

Baker & Taylor's service centers have remained open throughout this pandemic and continue to operate. Baker & Taylor has developed and implemented a strong and successful written COVID-19 preparedness and response program. The program is compliant with applicable OSHA and CDC guidelines and state reopening guidelines. Baker & Taylor is committed to providing a healthy and safe working environment for all its employees and takes its obligations in this regard very seriously. Baker & Taylor's excellent safety record is evidence of this commitment.

Due to the additional measures we are taking to ensure our staff is safe and healthy, you may experience some delays or interruptions in delivery. We are making every effort to expedite our shipments and get all orders processed and shipped as quickly as possible.

We are committed to supporting our customers during this fluid situation. Please continue to reach out so we can best support your library's specific needs.

Sending you good health,
