Q: How do you clean the books that are returned to the library?
A: That’s a great question. During the COVID-19 pandemic, we quarantine items for at least 96 hours prior to handling them and checking them in. Staff wear protective materials like masks and gloves while working. When items need to be cleaned, we use a hospital-grade solution that’s effective in killing viruses.
Q: If you could only read 3 books to understand Western Literature, what would they be?
A: Assuming I read more than just Harry Potter fanfiction… This is honestly very tough. My answer for Western literature is much different than American literature. If we’re talking Western literature my answer would be the Bible, The Odyssey and Hamlet. If we’re talking American literature, I would say The Great Gatsby, The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn and To Kill a Mockingbird. These titles have all influenced Western culture and American culture greatly. Luckily we don’t have to stop at three books!
