[CASL-L] [EXTERNAL] Re: future plans

[Elaine Shapiro]

I looked briefly at some of those resources, and the focus seems to be on
disinfecting returned books.  But the virus isn't living very long on
books. It was a widely quoted New England Journal of Medicine article that
raised concerns, but this one argues that risks from packages are low:

The bigger issue to me is maintaining distance between people in schools
and libraries.
