Abstract
During and post COVID-19 pandemic, all states of India and major cities are in nationalized lockdown. Across the country, suspected cases are found daily, and this is increasing day by day. This will undoubtedly increase if precautionary measures are not taken. Indian universities, colleges, and schools were in lockdown, and most of the students are locked down in their homes physically. The main objective of this chapter is to share the best practice of library services during this pandemic with the personal experience of a university library. In this chapter, the author presents the university library's condition during this health crisis and describes the certain challenges to deliver the virtual library services under the work-from-home model.
