I wanted to
make you aware that recently we discovered signs of bed bugs on some adult
fiction books that were returned to our library by a patron. These items were sealed off and put into
quarantine until we could have pest control look at the items. We have had experts look at the items and
confirm the presence of bed bugs on those materials. Our staff are trained to look for signs of
this on materials coming into the library so that we can keep any issues like
this contained. We have spoken with the patron that returned
the items so they can take steps to fix the problem in their home. These items have been disposed of.
We have been
checking all areas of the collection to make sure that there isn’t a larger
issue. We believe this to be an isolated
situation that has been contained, but out of an abundance of caution, the pest
experts will be treating our building on Friday. We will have to close the building that day to
allow them to complete the treatment.
The building will reopen on Saturday.
If you have concerns about anything currently checked out, please seal
the item in a Ziploc bag and return them to us.
In recent
years, bedbugs have become a growing problem for all public buildings including
hotels, schools, hospitals, movie theaters and libraries. While we hope that we never have to deal with
things like this, it does happen. We
will continue to use our preventative measures to keep these issues contained
as best we can. Thank you for your
understanding and know that you can reach out to me if you have any
questions.
