[Publib] sick patrons

[Edith Isele]

Here in Outreach Services we operate 10 bookmobiles: 3 go to senior
residential facilities, and 7 go to elementary schools.  Both populations
are famous for being cavalier about contagious diseases.  Since we do not
have running water on bookmobiles, we rely very heavily on waterless hand
sanitizer, disinfecting hand wipes, and a dry disinfecting spray for
keyboards, etc.  We are diligent about this, and emphasize to staff that
they too should stay home when contagious, but still January and February
are bad months.

If anyone has any more effective methods, that don't totally alienate
patrons, we too, would be glad to hear about them.

Best of luck to you all, and stay healthy.
