15:13:41	 From  Sharon : Does the REALM report mean that we don't have to wipe items down since there is no covid after 72 hrs.? We have been putting them on a table for 72 hours, wiping them down and then checking them in.

15:26:37	 From  Kate Cutko : No mic today. Its going very well.
15:27:28	 From  Kate Cutko : My patrons are so lovely. They want to do everything well, because they appreciate the chance to come in.
15:27:49	 From  Susan Schroeder : I have to remind patrons re wearing masks and using sanitizer, but everyone has been very understanding and cooperating so far.
15:28:04	 From  Alice Olson-Dr Shaw Memorial Library : What library and community is Josh in?
15:29:25	 From  Jared Leadbetter : Side note: no one has seen Holly@Pittsfield and Wonder Woman in the same place at the same time. Coincidence...?
15:29:55	 From  Holly--Pittsfield PL : Oh, Jared. Shush!
15:30:11	 From  Nancy : Our patrons in Lubec have been really appreciative and happy to be in.  Everyone comes in with a mask.  Everyone thanks us for being there.  Our doors are locked, but we open for 5 people at a time.
15:30:29	 From  Bernie : I vote for either Jared or Josh to write the 2020 discussion of Maine Libraries via the pandemic.  You two are hilarious!  I love your emails!  :)
15:30:58	 From  Lesley Unger - Springvale PL : Are you having very many people waiting to come in when you're at your max capacity?
15:31:00	 From  C. Smith : No Mic today.  Limerick opened yesterday.  Respectful patrons.  Short visits.  only 14 people today and we've been here since 9:00 a.m .  No curbside requests today yet.  Everyone has come in.
15:32:07	 From  cletourneau : APL - We've been open for almost a week now starting tomorrow. 10 people in at a time. Computers are by appointments same with family. Only a few people have come in without a mask. Lines are rare. A lot of happy patrons. A few rare people not happy we aren't open fully yet.
15:33:02	 From  Leslie Mortimer : Janet which library are you from?
15:33:35	 From  Mary-Lou Boucouvalas : Good advice.
15:33:54	 From  Lisa Shaw : @Janet Wilson - That is an awesome request, though! :D 
15:34:11	 From  Nicole Rancourt : @Leslie, Janet is at Rangeley
15:35:56	 From  Holly--Pittsfield PL : @Mary-Lou We've had 2 people do a really fun happy dance! :)
15:37:09	 From  BeckyAmes : Simpson in Carmel is very quiet. Our rule is 5 people at a time but we haven't had that yet. Only had one person who wouldn't come in because she had to wear  a mask. She still wants curbside, which is fine with us.
15:41:57	 From  heidi grimm : For those libraries that are open...are your restrooms open and available as usual?
15:41:59	 From  Nancy : Our computers are not available now, but I print things for people if they email them to us.
15:42:05	 From  Karen Eger : The study was very helpful and affirming.
15:42:05	 From  Cindy Appleby : No one's gotten a call from the Maine CDC that someone visited the library who tested positive?
15:42:36	 From  Jen Alvino : Our restrooms in Windham are open Heidi. We post the last time they were cleaned.

15:43:00	 From  Nancy Petersons Mechanic Falls Public : I forgot to say that I am doing contact tracing and everyone is fine with that.
15:43:00	 From  laura : What volume of books that have been handled do you have to put in quarantine (from the shelves)?
15:43:11	 From  E Quint’s iPad : have anyone had to test for virus?
15:43:13	 From  Nancy : Our restrooms are open- we are using the virus-killer that was recommended by the Univ. of Maine guy.
15:43:14	 From  Janet Wilson : Our restrooms are open. We go in and wipe down frequently touched surfaces every couple of hours.
15:43:34	 From  C. Smith : Heidi Grimm, we have not closed the restroom to the public in Limerick.
15:44:18	 From  Sophie Smith : We are planning to keep the restrooms closed in York in line with our town hall's status
15:44:54	 From  stratton public library : For those that are open and allowing 5 people at a time, what is the square footage of your libraries. We are a one room library with about 500 square feet for room. I was only thinking of letting in one at a time. 
15:44:57	 From  Jen Alvino : We have patrons place items on tables that they've touched and we place them on our quarantine tables. There are typically a few small piles a day. Maybe around 20 items.
15:45:44	 From  heidi grimm : we were advised by our local emergency mgmt rep/rescue chief to wear masks not shields. 
15:46:05	 From  Susan Preece-Topsham : If people use hand sanitizer on the way in and the books have already quarantined I figure that  the touched books are the cleanest right now.
15:46:13	 From  cletourneau : We have them bring those books to us and clean them right away. 
15:46:24	 From  Karen Eger : That is good to hear Jen.  I was worried about volumes of touched items in quarantine.
15:47:02	 From  Chris D : The mattresses Store in the Bangor Mall is selling the masks with clear windows for those areas with a large deaf or HOH communities. $3 I believe
15:47:37	 From  Lesley Unger - Springvale PL : CDC "CDC does not recommend use of face shields for normal everyday activities or as a substitute for cloth face coverings. "
15:48:01	 From  KWebber : Has anyone had to ask people to leave after a period of time in order to let new people come in or is it strictly on the honor system?
15:48:02	 From  Amy Levine : The wiping down of new materiel and reshelving hasn't been onerous
15:48:18	 From  C. Smith : Our patrons use hand sanitizer before entering and we don't quarantine the books they have touched.  We only quarantine the books that are returned from home.
15:48:36	 From  Amy Levine : We do the hand sanitizer thing, too---at the entrance, and throughout the building
15:49:08	 From  Jen Alvino : We haven't had to ask anyone to leave. People are honoring our half hour limit but we also don't have anything for them to do. No chairs out to sit, etc.
15:49:23	 From  Amy Levine : Josh, we need a YouTube of browsing sticks n action
15:50:37	 From  Pat Curley : I love that!!
15:50:50	 From  Amy Levine : Jamie, any idea where those masks came from
15:51:05	 From  James Ritter : I'll find out Amy and all... I think they are very cool
15:51:36	 From  Lisa Shaw : @Amy - they  might be the ones Chris Dorman mentioned earlier...?

15:52:21	 From  Amy Levine : Lisa, I missed that, I get answering questions from staff
15:52:24	 From  Clare Davitt : For folks who are starting computer use can you talk about how you're planning on that? 
15:53:10	 From  Lisa Shaw : @Amy - I hear ya! I'm not sure if the ones Chris mentioned are the same, so she can weigh in, but I believe she said Mattress Store at Bangor Mall.
15:53:36	 From  David Smith (Thomas College) : Clare, Thomas College will be setting up plexi between computers, like little self contained cubicles
15:54:22	 From  Clare Davitt : @David, thank you. What are you doing for cleaning between users? Did you get washable keyboards/mice? Or just doing general disinfectant? 
15:54:57	 From  jdupree : We're asking people to put their card barcode side up so we can scan it. We sanitize or wash hands between each patron.
15:54:59	 From  David Smith (Thomas College) : We are planning to order key board shields and wipe down between usage
15:55:01	 From  Chris D : Cross contamination is a VERY REAL thing
15:55:12	 From  Clare Davitt : @david Thanks!
15:55:18	 From  C. Smith : patrons scan their own books on the other side of the plexiglass.
15:55:41	 From  David at Ogunquit Library : We need gloves!
15:55:44	 From  heidi grimm : I can't get the stand up dispenser units anywhere.
15:55:46	 From  laura : Mossy Ledge Spirits in Etna!

15:56:19	 From  laura : Compared to what other people say, there product does not seem to dry out our hands.
15:56:19	 From  C. Smith : bottle of sanitizer
15:56:21	 From  Carver Library : Someone from our town garage welded some stands for us and other town buildings.
15:56:22	 From  Holly--Pittsfield PL : @Clare--We do allow computer use but only 3 computers so we're able to spread them out and we clean them after each use.
15:56:41	 From  Clare Davitt : @Holly thanks!
15:56:41	 From  Lisa Shaw : David, I have found quite a few glove boxes at Ocean State Job Lot and Sally Beauty Supply. Not sure if either is near you.
15:56:42	 From  Kate Cutko : maine craft distilling
15:56:42	 From  mtcoombs : We purchased sanitizer from a local distillery. 5 Gallon buckets.
15:56:48	 From  Debbie : My wall units are supposed to be delivered end of July--I've been waiting since March
15:56:59	 From  BPL Director : Is the special recommended cleaner available yet?  
15:57:07	 From  Julie, Madison Public Library  Warren's Office Supplies
15:57:19	 From  laura : You can also use it as a spray disinfectant
15:57:54	 From  Chris D : Lots of local brewers are making it.

15:58:09	 From  BPL Director : Couldn't get that Pure Green 24
15:58:29	 From  Nancy : We bought it from Amazon.
15:58:31	 From  Amy Levine : I ordered the Pure Green 24 direct from their site
15:58:37	 From  Cindy Appleby : We have Microban, but the bottle says it kills the virus but doesn't protect for 24 hours. Only bacteria is killed for 24 hours
15:59:56	 From  Kate Cutko : Maine Craft Distilling sold us a sanitizer stand at cost, with the agreement that we continue toi buy their sanitizer.
16:00:20	 From  Dani, NPL : We are using a bleach bucket solution and spray bottle here… is there a deficiency with bleach?  It’s rather cheap, efficient, easy… I’m curious why everyone is purchasing other cleaners?  Are there common allergies or sensitivities to Clorox?
16:01:26	 From  Amber Watrous : which databases will be going?
16:02:37	 From  laura : When will it be appropriate to move to Bucket 3?
16:02:39	 From  Carver Library : Bleach... bleaches. (May depend on concentration.) Other cleaners do not risk discoloring materials or surfaces.
16:02:47	 From  Kate Cutko : Here is my farmers market used book setup! https://www.facebook.com/BowdoinhamPublicLibrary/photos/a.10151755519991510/10157045791996510/?type=3&theater

16:05:39	 From  Julie Sawtelle Cumston Pub LIb, Monmouth : Cumston hired Oakes & Parkhurst Glass - they are pretty nice.
16:05:52	 From  Vincent Garin : Hi so we had a question about Freedom Express deliveries. I was under the impression that we were just supposed to be getting the 1 delivery of things that had been in storage. We got that a couple of weeks ago, but last week, a driver showed up and scared the tarnation out of our library tech who was the only one there. Is there some kind of published schedule that FX is following?
16:05:53	 From  Julie Sawtelle Cumston Pub LIb, Monmouth : but not inexpensive!!
16:06:10	 From  jdupree : Ours look really nice and we hope they will stay up forever! (It's nice, in general, to not be sneezed on).
16:06:24	 From  ncrowell : Our local Ace Hardware builds them.  Check with your favorite local hardware store.
16:07:04	 From  laura : We used large picture frames and inserted the plexi in the frames and hung them-
16:07:29	 From  Janet McKenney  to  Carla(Privately) : I will know more after talking to FX tomorrow.
16:08:34	 From  Kathleen Kramer : @Sharon Nichols our patrons have not been coming back in the numbers I expected, either

16:09:28	 From  Abby Austin : Thanks, Nancy! -Abby @Rumford PL
16:10:37	 From  heidi grimm : Do any of the open libraries still have newspapers on coffee tables?
16:10:41	 From  Vincent Garin : the last time they came, they didn't have anything to deliver, and we didn't have anything to pick up and we were just confused as to why they had come
16:10:53	 From  Jen Alvino : We've removed our newspapers Heidi
16:10:58	 From  Sharon Nichols Palermo Library : Thanks Holly and Nancy.
16:10:59	 From  Karen Eger : Our checklist recommends not to have newspapers or magazine

16:14:30	 From  Alice Olson-Dr Shaw Memorial Library : We have one empty one. Is that worth their trip to come pick it up?
16:15:15	 From  Interlibrary.Loan : The bag contents haven't been touched.  The bags and totes are the only things handled.
16:17:29	 From  Dana Chevalier : Will due dates for ILLS be longer to allow for quarantining incoming items before they go to patrons?
16:17:42	 From  Vincent Garin : Oh soryr, I'm from Maine Maritime Academy
16:18:04	 From  Vincent Garin : fair enough! I was just worried it was our mistake
