As books cannot be effectively cleaned and disinfected, it may be wise to store books for a minimum of 24 hours before handling them. • Patrons should wash hands before and after handling books and other items, avoid touching their faces while reading and avoid sneezing or coughing onto the page while reading. • Patrons who are immune compromised or otherwise susceptible to COVID19 infection should not take out items from the library. • Due to the nature of the COVID-19 pandemic, these services may need to be suspended without notice.
