[AISLE-Share] Bedbugs in Libraries!

[Email list for the Association of Illinois School Library Educators]

Bedbug article attached here!  I seriously NEVER thought about a potential
bedbug infestation in the library before last night when a friend from
Missouri was telling me about this.  Apparently is was all over the news in
the Kansas City area.  As much as we probably don't even want to consider
it, it does make sense.  Patrons read in bed and upholstered furniture, and
travel with library books all the time.

The affected library in this instance is a public library, but what's to
stop them in a school library?  I'm thinking... nothing.  I don't even know
how I's spot them in a book unless I saw one crawling on it.  How many
times are we too busy to give a book more than a cursory once-over to check
for damage and that's it?
