[aisle] K-12 Quarantine Library Books?

[Tasha Squires]

I actually contacted our local public library to see what they are doing,
and presently, they are no longer quarantining books. If my school district
ever comes up with a plan for our return to school this year, I will plan
to cite what the local public library is doing, and if they still do want
me to quarantine, I don't plan to do more than 24 hours, which most books
take that long to get processed and then put back on the shelf anyway.

Good luck to everyone this year! :)
