The hottest spot in town?

Over 40 years ago, I recall watching a film called something like The Hottest Spot in Town. What was that spot, you might ask? The public library! And today, after five months of self-isolation as potential Covid-19 hot-spots, most Ottawa area libraries have re-opened for in-person browsing:

Certain precautions and restrictions are in place, of course. But in some ways, things are actually a little nicer than before. The loan period has been extended to four weeks from three. They'll hold a hold for you for two weeks instead of just one. Overdue fines have been suspended (a number of library systems, though not ours, have done away with them altogether).

It's not just people who've had to go into quarantine - it's books too! But the quarantine period for books is a little shorter: three days instead of 14. Technology may already be several steps ahead of our sometimes clunky human protocols and procedures - apparently a device already exists to kill Covid-19 on books in a mere 60 seconds:

Perhaps we could replicate that in human clinical trials?
