[Athen] Is anyone sending hard copy materials directly to students?

[Debbie Krahmer]

Hi everyone,

American Libraries just posted an article
<https://americanlibrariesmagazine.org/blogs/the-scoop/how-to-sanitize-collections-covid-19/>
about whether or not to disinfect books or other library materials, as well
as other issues around it.

I don't know if it would be applicable to individual materials through the
mail, but it has more information

Thanks,
D.
