Walking down empty streets with darkened buildings once filled with life, it’s hard not to notice things have changed. Libraries whose collections built my childhood are dark. K-12 schools are closed until fall, universities are remote through the remainder of the semester and restaurants are shut down for the unforeseeable future.
