[OPLINLIST] Circulating Magazines

[Melyssa Jones]

We never started circulating them once we started offering Curbside. We had no good way of cleaning them, so we only offer Hardcover, Paperback and audiobooks.

Hi All,

The new Battelle report confirms that COVID-19 is detectable on magazines at the 4 day mark. This means MCDL's universal 3-day quarantine process no longer seems sufficient.

If you are treating magazines differently than other items (including not circulating them at all), could you please email me back?
Or please forward my email to someone in your library that I could runs some ideas by?

thanks in advance,
