You may recall that Rutgers lifted its requirement for masking in classrooms and libraries. The faculty union then got the Public Employees Relations Council, a state agency, to order that the mandate for masking in libraries remain in effect while the Council considered the matter. According to an e-mail today from Antonio Calcado, Rutgers' Executive Vice President and Chief Operating Officer, the Council has now ended that order "pending a further ruling." So masking is now not required in the libraries unless and until the Council says otherwise.
