That’s what we’ve been doing.

No, just some of the people who use them. In particular, I am referring to women, whether nannies or mom's, who bring their ill-behaved brats in who then destroy everything.

DCPL is starting returns and curbside holds pickup.

We don’t go during NORMAL times

This seems arbitrary. For example, do you sleep in hotel rooms where literally thousands of people have gone before you - walked on the same rugs, put their feet on the furniture, slept on the same mattresses and pillows? Kind of makes the library, where germs don’t really live long on paper, seem not so “gross.”
