New Mexico Book Co-op

NM Book Co-op Meetings Cancelled
----------
Due to the constantly changing world we are facing, the organizers of the New Mexico Book Co-op have been following very closely the announcements from the government and health officials. New Mexico's health secretary issued an order today prohibiting mass gatherings of 100 people or more in response to the COVID-19 pandemic. Although our meetings do not always reach that large of a crowd, we would rather err on the side of good judgment.

As such, we will be suspending all NM Book Co-op meetings until further notice. If you have been following the news, you are aware that NBA and NFL games, NCAA and high school tournaments, book fairs/festivals from Tucson to Bologna are being cancelled or curtailed. We would rather be safe than sorry and that goes for our members as well. We started exploring options for video-conferencing at our last meeting and will work to develop that possibility over the next few weeks.
