Effective June 16, 2021, Trails Regional Library will no longer quarantine returned library material. Hard-surface materials like DVDs and CDs will be wiped down if extra cleaning is needed. It is not necessary for patrons to clean materials prior to returning them.
First, consider switching to digital materials for the time being. eAudiobooks and eBooks, as well as streaming music and videos, are available through the Library’s website.
Second, consider placing your checked-out items aside for another day or two, like you would with items that come from the grocery store.
Patrons are asked not to expose Library materials to disinfectants, extreme heat (like from an oven), microwaves, or other chemicals that can damage books, CDs, and DVDs, leading to charges against your account.
Sanitizing wipes may be used to carefully wipe plastic covers of books (not the pages), and DVD or CD cases.
No, the number of digital items you have on hold is separate from physical items.
We are currently making more than 185,000 titles available to customers digitally, including children’s eBooks, and continue to add new ones. Customers can also access streaming video as well as digital books for children through Tumblebook Library.
Please call or visit one of the Trails Regional Library branches for assistance.
