Happening Tomorrow! NNLM R4 Connections: Bed Bugs in Libraries

 

Join us on July 13, 2023, at 10 AM PT/11 AM MT/12 PM CT/1 PM ET for our next NNLM R4 Connections Meeting.

Unfortunately, bed bugs are not a new challenge to libraries. In the first 30 minutes, we will hear from Janet Anderson, the previous Library Director of Minot Public Library, as she discusses the issues with these pests in libraries and describe the thorough policies and procedures created by Minot Public Library to deal with such infestations. Janet will also describe the research conducted by staff on preventing and treating bed bugs and how they can impact a library. While dealing with bed bugs can be a huge pain, it’s something that anyone can manage with a little patience and some knowledge. Following the presentation and Q&A, there will be an open meeting for members interested in meeting with or asking the Region 4 team questions.
