STANDING ITEM: CONSIDERATION OF POTENTIAL STUDY ISSUES
NON-AGENDA ITEMS & COMMENTS
-Board Member Comments
Board Members asked and staff answered:
-Could the paper bags being used for pick-ups be recycled or re-used by the
library? The library is not currently reusing the bags for sanitary reasons.
-Is there an existing procedure in place to sanitize library materials? There isn’t a
cost effective, practical way to sanitize library materials. Studies have examined how
long the virus can remain viable on various library materials, and in the case of
books, the virus is no longer detectable after 24 hours in an unstacked condition.
Staff has found that there is typically more than 24 hours between material use, and
it’s incumbent upon the user to practice good sanitary practices including frequent
washing of hands, and not touching one’s face.
-Staff Comments
Superintendent Steve Sloan updated the board regarding: stay at home order has
been lifted, but the library will remain closed offering appointment only service.
