[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]So I'm a school librarian and I try to make sure that all of my students left school last Friday with at least a few books. [/quote]

I'm a volunteer who helped our school librarian get the library ready for the shutdown. She didn't allow any books checked out as [b]she couldn't guarantee that the more popular ones (some with surfaces slick surfaces like Dogman, etc.) weren't already infected.[/b] She did set up all the classes with the school account for an online reading site.
 I know though that this wouldn't have worked for some schools whose kids were not advantaged enough to have internet access or a way to read online if their parent was working on the only computer. I would have been one of those kids when I was young and would have been very grateful if my school librarian had lent me something to read.[/quote]

PP - I know it wasn't you, but... for goodness sake, when MCPS closed, we had like 12 cases in the entire state of Maryland (more than 6 million people).  Everyone tries to be a public health expert AND people have really limited math skills.  There was basically a zero chance that any of the kids had coronavirus, coupled with basically a zero chance that any particular library book was touched by someone with coronavirus.
