Used to gross me out when I was a kid and would check out a library book, then find bits of somebody’s meal stuck on a page somewhere midway through it. Never stopped me from finishng the book though – or checking out the next one, once I was done with it.

How many years ago, Petey? Since you learned to read? (How long has this kid been a germophobe?)

Peter, all returning books are subjected to 15 seconds of UV radiation prior to their return to the shelves. Take my word. Please!

As a library worker who’s been off sick four times already this year, I sure wish we did that…

Don’t worry, Petey, they use the Dewey Decimal Blastemal Lysosomal System. They blast the books with Lysol 10 times… ☺

It depends on where they were sitting while reading them.

It’s best to err on the side of caution. Wear your scrubs, latex gloves, and surgical mask.

Get a stronger immune system not weaken it further as so many have.

Petey? Are you implying that the Magic Librarian is as imaginary as Ernesto?! Say it isn’t so!
