[Michlib-l] Genesee District Library- Bed Bug Event.

[David Conklin]

Dear Colleagues,

Today, Tuesday, August 08, 2017, library staff discovered evidence of bed bugs among items returned to the Mt. Morris Branch of the Genesee District Library.  The items in question have been removed and the building will remain closed until it has been treated, inspected and given the all clear.

We look forward to serving our patrons from this branch as soon as this issue is resolved.

In November of 2015, we developed procedures and trained staff on bed bugs.  Today that preparation paid off.  Although, the branch is temporarily closed we expect it to be treated and given the all clear soon.

Shortly prior to this email we also sent out a press release.  We want the public to know, from the source, what happened and what is being done.

I want to assure you all that we are on top of this event and it will end with the bugs being contained and eradicated.

It is business as usual at all of our other 18 branches.

Dave
