Several members of library staff have suggested that we need to think
through and activate a precautionary swine-flu policy. Ideas so far range
from providing latex gloves to staff handling money and books at issue desks
to disinfectant hand-rubs at all desks, disinfectant hand wash in
lavatories, notices around the library urging precaution etc. Has any other
library implemented anything like this so far? Is it all "over the top"?
Would be interested to know what people think and what practical steps - if
any - are being taken in libraries. Apologies if this has already been
discussed on the list.
With thanks,
