While constantly monitoring the rapidly changing circumstances, the Library increased its core digital services - from e-book access to online learning support for students, remote research services, online programs, and virtual one-on-one job support. Following the Library's temporary closure, patrons across the city - and beyond - rushed to access and use our digital collections. In the first month, patrons checking out e-books increased more than threefold. Between mid-March and July of 2020, 65,000 new users signed up for SimplyE, the Library's free e-reader app, and 2 million e-books and e-audiobooks were checked out. In late spring and early summer, as the city began its reopening efforts, the Library followed suit, offering contactless grab-and-go service at select locations, which was soon expanded to 50 locations across the Bronx, Manhattan, and Staten Island. Reinstating limited physical service proved vital for communities; through the second week of grab-and-go services, patrons placed over 40,000 holds for pickup.
