Quarantining and cleaning materials
The question has been coming up in my library about quarantining and sanitizing returned materials to the library. We are still quarantining 72 hrs., and wiping items that have a plastic or vinyl covering with a sanitizing cloth before re-shelving. Are other libraries still following a similar procedure? If so, would you mind sharing? Thanks so much! Kay Hurd Director Almont District Library 213 W. St. Clair P.O.

I asked a similar question last week. I am in the process of compiling the replies that were graciously shared. I will be happy to share with the list. Anne E.

I'm also curious if the new more highly infectious mutation will change the timing.
