<div dir="ltr">Thank you for sharing. This is not uncommon. My former school had an incident where a student returned a book with a bedbug on it. I noticed it, believing it was another type of bug. After the slamming the book against a desk, it didn't fall off. I knew instantly it was something more. This is why I always were plastic gloves when handling the shelves and an apron. <div><br></div><div><br></div></div><br><div class="gmail_quote"><div dir="ltr">On Mon, Oct 1, 2018 at 3:35 PM Email list for the Association of Illinois School Library Educators <<a href="mailto:aisle@list.railslibraries.info">aisle@list.railslibraries.info</a>> wrote:<br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex"><div dir="ltr"><div dir="ltr">We had a few come in on books at one of my former school libraries.

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. </div><div><br></div><div>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? </div><div><br></div><a href="https://www.kansascity.com/news/politics-government/article219218020.html" target="_blank">https://www.kansascity.com/news/politics-government/article219218020.html</a><div><br></div><div><div><div dir="ltr" class="m_-1336385768199524918m_-7382438573358956821gmail_signature" data-smartmail="gmail_signature"><div dir="ltr"><div><div dir="ltr"><div dir="ltr"><div dir="ltr"><div dir="ltr"><div dir="ltr"><div dir="ltr"><div><font color="#0000ff" size="4" face="times new roman, serif"><strong><em>Amanda Kuzminski</em></strong></font></div><div><font color="#0000ff" size="2" face="times new roman, serif"><strong><em>Library Media Specialist</em></strong></font></div><div><font color="#0000ff" size="1" face="times new roman, serif">Orland Junior High School</font></div><div><font color="#0000ff" size="1" face="times new roman, serif">Orland Park, IL</font></div><div><font color="#0000ff" face="times new roman, serif">708-364-4214</font></div><div><font face="garamond,serif" size="2" color="#351c75"><i><br></i></font></div><div><font face="times new roman, serif" size="2" color="#351c75"><b>No trees were destroyed in the sending of this message, but a large number of electrons were terribly inconvenienced.<br></b></font></div><div><font face="times new roman, serif" size="2" color="#351c75"><b> - <font style="font-style:italic">Neil DeGrasse Tyson, astrophysicist</font></b></font></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div>
