Installed a "book sterilization machine"

IMG_3729.JPG  IMG_3752.JPG

In order for everyone using the library to enjoy books with peace of mind, the city has set up a "book eradication machine" utilizing the "Temporary Grant for Regional Revitalization for COVID-19 Infectious Diseases".
The installation location is next to the pillar right in front of the library entrance.

This "book disinfection machine" sends the wind with a fan from the bottom of the book and applies ultraviolet rays while the book is open with the wind to disinfect and deodorize the cover and page.
It is also possible to remove the odor by removing dust between pages or using deodorant antibacterial agents.
It is possible to disinfect 6 books at a time in 30 seconds. You can use the sterilizer for free.
You can remove materials read in the museum and materials that can be borrowed and brought back to your home.
(* Not all bacteria and viruses can be completely removed. Thank you for your understanding.

In addition, when the number of people who use it increases, and when a row is formed, please arrange the interval with the previous one sufficiently, and please cooperate so that everyone can use it with peace of mind.

How to use

1) Please open the door.
2) Open the book and close the door.
3) Press the start button.
4) After 30 seconds, it will be automatically terminated, so please open the door and publish the book.
5) Close the door.

※In conjunction with the "book eradication machine", we used the system to purchase additional books (275 books) that are highly used and requested, mainly children's books, with the aim of enhancing the reading environment at home.
