[Publib] bed bugs

[Henriksen, Phalbe]

Folks,

 

The New York Times blog "Well" recently published an article about bed
bugs:

It was taken from an article in the NYT:

There are 146 comments so far, some very helpful with solutions. One I
really like gives the URL of the bed bug registry!

I've been wondering when a library will have books returned with bed
bugs in them. We had one in a library in a developing country I worked
in, and the assistant sprayed it so much with insecticide that she
ruined the book! LOL

 

But, seriously, if this starts happening, how will libraries respond?
Have any of you had any experiences with bed bugs in library books?

 

Thanks.
