When did the impact of COVID-19 first occur to you? How did your reaction to COVID-19 change between then and the first case in your town?

In February, our work went remote.

How is your life different now than it was before the pandemic?

Feel even more isolated because I rely on getting together with friends and children, my children live out of town.

How are you feeling? What are you doing to relieve stress?

Walking dog multiple times a day when I home, calling my good friends and grown children, routine. I am unable to go to Canada as I use to due to COVID. I live on border and my family lives in Quebec.

What have you noticed has changed in your community since the outbreak? What has surprised you?

Unable to volunteer as I use to or have friends over. I am a docent in Fossil quarry.

Are you working from home? What adjustments or challenges are you experiencing?

Back to onsite work in Plattsburgh. I live in Vermont and work in Plattsburgh, NY so I have to follow updates and recommendations from both. I also work as a nationally guest ambassador on the weekends and we are not open to public.

How are you using social media, the Internet, or digital platforms during the pandemic?

Zoom for the French Conversation Program that I facilitate for a member library. Rely on online shopping, quick trips to get groceries or curbside services.

Did you have to postpone any major life events? (e.g. Graduation, wedding, major birthday) What did you do instead?

Yes, seeing my son in Halifax Nova Scotia, I do not have enough time off to meet quarantine requirements so I have not seen my son since Christmas, so I miss my son.

Do you have animals? Did you adopt a pet? How have they impacted your day?

My dog is awesome, he fills a big void in my life right now since I live alone.
