For the first time in FOUR MONTHS, I got a renewal notice email from our library. The books that I took out (one for me, that, as I believe I have mentioned, was TERRIBLE and NOT GOOD and I DID NOT FINISH it, and five for Jack) back in the first week of March have been renewed through the end of the month.
Our local libraries are providing curbside pickup now, but I’m not sure how I feel about bringing new library books home. I’m fine with returning the ones we have, although I don’t think Jack would agree with that. We read four of the five nearly every day, and one of them has become a favorite in the last two weeks.
Their website doesn’t talk about how they’re handling returns or what they’re doing before they send them back out. I’m going to have to add “call the library” to my to-do list. And I don’t know what to get Jack without browsing, so maybe I’ll ask them to surprise us. IF I’m comfortable with whatever they’re doing with the books. And I’m not sure what I’d be comfortable with. Just a full cleaning? What does that mean? Wipe every page? A few days’ quarantine? Maybe wipe it down AND quarantine….ugh. THIS IS HARD.

If you pick them up in a grocery bag and let them sit for 48 hours they should be fine.

Dr. Grauchi, what a good idea! But what about going into the library to search and pick them out? Not good, huh? Too bad Kindle books aren’t the same for picture books.
