Harford County Public Library to Close All Branches Through March

March 13, 2020 By Dagger News Service 12 Comments

From the Harford County Public Library:

Harford County Public Library is closing all branches starting Sunday, March 15, through Tuesday, March 31, to protect against the spread of the Coronavirus, COVID-19.

The library has unlimited access 24/7 through its website at HCPLonline.org to eBooks, eMovies, eMagazines, comics, movies, TV, research databases and more for all ages. The library is waiving all fines and fees during this period along with extending due dates until April 15, 2020. Customers are encouraged to stay home and keep their items at home, too, until the crisis is over. Updates will be shared through social media, the library website and eNews as the situation changes.

Harford County Public Library’s listing of online resources to assist the community in learning the facts about the Coronavirus, COVID-19, is updated regularly and may be found at HCPLonline.org/coronavirus.php.

“This has been a difficult decision to make, but given the circumstances surrounding the spread of the Coronavirus, COVID-19, closing our libraries is in the best interest of our community,” said Mary Hastler, CEO of Harford County Public Library. “Our extensive online resources are available 24/7 for our customers at HCPLOnline.org.”

    Clearly this is a very serious event. Everyone should take extreme precautions to ensure the safety of themselves as well as their families!

      Clearly you are not the SoulCrusher and clearly you like to promote fear and misguidance for the Democrat Party. The Coronavirus is akin to a bad cold or the flu. End of discussion. If you are immune deficient or are advanced in age you should be very cautious. Otherwise, your life is being put on hold by Democratic fools.

        Personally, I like the “new SoulCrusher”. Out with the old and in with the new.

          There is no new SoulCrusher. I am the one. I have always been the one. I will always be the one and that is final. Whomever is getting on here using my moniker is a joke. Nothing more, nothing less. You can’t crush souls playing the imitators role. That’s just the way it is…

          Well, Bob, I guess you would like someone imitating the only person on this website who gives you truth to further your agenda of pure Democratic and Governmental TREASON against my Country. Bob, you should be executed under Article 3 Section 3 and it would be my pleasure to hang you by your dirty stinking traitor neck until you’re dead. You’re nothing but a liar and a Dagger Editor! The Dagger is supposed to be “local news with an edge”, but it turns out that it is nothing but a governmental treason machine against me and my people.

            I suspect you don’t really have ANY PEOPLE in your life and that void is at the heart of your disorder. You have my sympathy.

            Bob, you’re a piece of Democratic shit and a traitor. I don’t want your sympathy and I hate every traitor that is trying to destroy my country. I have no disorder and help many people, all the time, but I wouldn’t help you do a damn thing, traitor…you don’t deserve it.

            SoulCrusher, the first step in dealing with your hate-filled disorder is your admission of the problem. Unless and until you can do that you are stuck in neutral. The clock is ticking — YOU NEED HELP!!

          • SoulCrusher says

            March 15, 2020 at 2:36 pm

            No, Bob, you need help. The Democratic policy of Catholic persecution using illegal and unconstitutional statutory law made by the traitors who inhabit Congress and the State Legislature is part of MY problem. My problem with you is that you are a scumbag Dagger Editor trying to act like a reader and/or contributor like the rest of us, while pursuing an agenda of Democratic treason to control the lives of everyone. Bob, no one cares about what you want. No one believes your lies and no one believes the lies of YOUR Democrat Party. The Democratic Party should be completely banned because of people just like you. I don’t need help, you need help. I AM WHO I AM AND THAT IS ALL I AM. If you don’t like it, learn to love it because the Crusher of Souls has no tolerance for scumbag traitors like you….

      Yes, you are a complete moron for believing that the COVID-19 virus is as life threatening as the media, CDC, the WHO and now even our even keeled President is claiming. If you are of advanced age or are immune deficient then you might have a problem. The statistics show that the young are NOT DYING from COVID-19 and that everybody freaking out is the REAL issue involving this issue. Now, SHUT YOUR MOUTH AND KNOW YOUR ROLE you dirty stinking fear mongering traitor and read the REAL facts about COVID-19 that the media, Democrats and now OUR CURRENT GOVERNMENT doesn’t want you to know!

      As a matter of fact, Traitor, the study did not report any deaths in children younger than 10, who represented less than 1% of the patients. It says it RIGHT THERE in the article you scumbag so GO SCREW YOURSELF TRAITOR!
