Court ruling based on Jacobson v. Massachusetts, 197 U.S. 11 (1905), and subsequent New Hampshire cases adopting and following the reasoning in Jacobson: In short, these cases adopt Cicero’s maxim salus populi suprema lex esto (the health of the people is the supreme law) and explain that the health of the many overrule the rights of the few in the context of preventing or combating the spread of infectious disease where the prescribed treatment is not merely a pretext to rob the individual or his or her rights.

New and emerging insights into COVID-19 (video recording).
OCLC, the Institute of Museum and Library Services, and Battelle are conducting research on how long the COVID-19 virus survives on materials that are prevalent in libraries, archives, and museums. The project will draw upon the research to produce authoritative, science-based information on how—or if— materials can be handled to mitigate exposure to staff and visitors.
Library trustees have unique authority over the library. Unlike other municipal departments, which are subject to the rules and regulations promulgated by the select board, libraries are subject to their own governance structure under RSA chapter 202-A. This means library trustees must make decisions about rules for library access, employment rules, and as well as services offered by libraries during the time of the pandemic.
The COVID-19 pandemic continues to impact library services. Libraries play a critical role (both in person and virtually) in communities and in higher education institutions and schools. In many areas, libraries have closed voluntarily or have been closed by state and federal governments; yet, many have continued to provide virtual or remote library services. While some libraries have remained open, others remain closed (but still have books or other library materials being returned) or are planning to reopen. Thus, there is a need for guidance on maintaining safe library facilities, for both library employees and patrons. This document is intended to provide guidance and considerations for a range of libraries including community, higher education or school libraries.
