Re: [Michlib-l] Genesee District Library- Bed Bug Event.
by Sue Alt 09 Aug '17

Just a reminder to all libraries that participate in RIDES - We do have a RIDES policy regarding infestations. If an infestation were to spread to sorting centers or to the RIDES main hub warehouse, it could potentially be spread across the entire state, and nobody wants to see that happen! Thanks- Sue Infestation 1. The purpose of this policy is to prevent the spread of any pest infestations that may occur with libraries participating in RIDES. 2.An active infestation will exhibit live adult or larval insects, fresh frass (insect excrement and debris), and damage. 3.Infestation information and solutions are posted on the RIDES Procedures web page. 4.Any item that has a potential infestation should not be sent in the RIDES system, under any circumstances. 5.Libraries will be responsible for the following in the event of an active infestation problem at their site. Notify RIDES immediately via the RIDES Assistance Form Suspend delivery service immediately until the infestation has been resolved. Clean any totes or materials that may have been affected by the infestation, as appropriate for the type of infestation, before delivery service is restored. 6. If an infestation is detected by a library site in any incoming totes or materials, the library should: Notify RIDES immediately via the RIDES Assistance form. Contain and isolate any affected totes and materials. 7. If an infestation is detected at a RIDES hub warehouse: RIDES will be responsible for notifying any potentially impacted libraries. RIDES will be responsible for cleaning any totes or materials that may have been affected by the infestation, as appropriate for the type of infestation, before delivery service is restored.

Hi, I am looking for information on purchasing new DVD security cases. We are slowly transitioning from the larger Kwik Cases to the One-Time Security cases pictured below. I was hoping someone knew of a good supplier to get these cases at a good price. [cid:58888ff5-862d-4a9a-93c7-598ecd89515a] Thanks!

Eclipse Glasses
by Andy Schuck 08 Aug '17

08 Aug '17

I know there have been many requests for eclipse glasses over the last few weeks and we were lucky enough to receive 1000 for 3 of our libraries, but we're running low (as I'm sure many are). If any libraries have a large surplus and could spare 100 or more, please reply to me off-list or send them via RIDES to ZV330. Thanks a bunch!
