[quote=Anonymous]Anyone can bring a bedbug to the library. Often they ride in on returned books from people's bedsides, but that's not the only vehicle. Once there, they love hiding out in books! Here are a few links to consider. Personally, I think keeping shared spaced and resources as hygienic as possible is key, as well as routing inspections and bringing back stronger insecticides. I would certainly have a policy on what belongings people can bring with them into the library (bedding?). Might be something to check with Reston. Of course I am guessing they can hitch a ride on clothing. A few links.

"The structures that are most at risk for developing bed bug infestations are where many people and their belongings move in and out with great frequency. [b]Thus it is easy to see how places like hotels, motels, hostels and shelters are particularly prone to bed bug infestations.[/b] As in hotels and motels, shelters are at risk of having bed bugs arrive on every client that walks in the door. "

Heartbreaking:

"CTA rider Michael Moore couldn't believe what he was seeing, so he wanted to document it. Moore shot about 12 seconds of what he describes as hundreds and hundreds of living bugs crawling inside a black garbage bag which had holes in the bottom.
He believes the woman carrying the bag was homeless, and that the bugs were bedbugs."

Also sad:

"Days after bedbugs were discovered on the N line, a No. 5 train was taken out of service on Friday after a rider reported seeing one fall off a homeless man, said Joe Costales, chairman of the conductor/tower division of Transport Workers Union Local 100."

"Patrons may be checking out more than just a book the next time they visit the Buena Vista Branch Library in Burbank.
Elizabeth Goldman, the city’s library services director, told council members that bedbugs have been found in the city’s newest library on North Buena Vista Street.
There were a few sites around the library — primarily in the main reading area, known as the “Castle” in the children’s library, and in staff offices — where the little insects were found, Goldman said in a phone interview Wednesday."

According to Bay Area news station KRON4, the parasites–often passed through bedsheets, clothing, and upholstery–were found in a men’s room; [b]under computer desks and chairs[/b]; and in a reading area in the library.[/quote]
