That is entirely the truth - librarians are there to get you in contact with the services, not to provide them. At least in a sensible community.
I saw the proposal to make the library into a day care, and my Edvard Munch impression was on point at that particular posting.
The consensus is absolutely "no mask, no inside service, here's curbside," but the question of who has to enforce that usually means we're asking our front line people to get yelled at, or to try and physically stop a person who doesn't intend on being stopped, or otherwise to take abuse and risk infection to enforce these policies. And I doubt the management will be "oh, you had to deal with an aggressive infection hazard, so we're banning that person for a year and giving you two weeks paid time off, effective immediately, like right fucking now, so as to minimize the number of people that you could infect of you were unlucky." about it.
