bed bugs in public libraries

[mahogany]

Bedbugs have been found in pretty much all of the lower mainland libraries. They are all taking measures to try to control the issue. There will be periodic inspections with sniffer dogs, and books coming from known problem sources will be put aside for special handling, but even still, the whole beg bug thing has me really freaked out

I have just checked out 4 books from the library.
Now my skin is crawling!!!

I am going to try not to think about it, and will have to learn how to check out eBooks!

I would hate not visiting the library anymore. I have just been able to get over personal issues with them and am now frequenting!

Prior to the bedbug explosion most of our furniture was dumpstered or from the free section in our laundry room. It killed me to buy a used couch from a (bed bug free!) acquaintance rather than get a free one off craigslist. I'm an extremely non squeamish, non germaphobe person, but bedbugs freak me out. Not the bugs themselves, but knowing how difficult it is to get rid of them. So now I'm paranoid too.
