Library Trends
In June 2020, the Institute of Museum and Library Services (IMLS) published the first stage of their
findings as part of the REALM Project to mitigate exposure to the virus. Based on this and other official
information from the CDC and World Health Organization, we will monitor and utilize within our planning
for Library services.

Research Shows Virus Undetectable on Five Highly Circulated Library Materials
After Three Days
Findings are Part of REALM Project to Produce Science -Based Information
to Help Mitigate Exposure to Virus
Washington, DC— In the first phase of a project
to disseminate and develop science -based
information about how materials can be handled to
mitigate exposure to staff and visitors, scientists
have found that the virus SARS-CoV-2 that
causes COVID-19 is not detectable on five
common library materials after three days.
The findings are part of the Reopening Archives,
Libraries, and Museums
(REALM) Protect designed to generate scientific information to support the handling of core
museum, library, and archival materials as these institutions begin to resume operations and
reopen to the public. The first phase of the research is focusing on commonly found and
frequently handled materials, especially in U.S. public libraries.
Over the past few weeks, scientists at Battelle tested the virus on a variety of surfaces, in
environments with standard temperature and relative humidity conditions typically found in air-
conditioned office space. Materials tested in phase one included the cover of hardcover books
(buckram cloth), the cover of softback books, plain paper pages inside a closed book, mylar
protective book cover jackets, and plastic DVD cases. Battelle tests found the virus undetectable
after one day on the covers of hardback and softback books as well as the DVD case. The virus
was undetectable on the paper inside of a book and mylar book jackets after three days. "It's
below the limit of detection on our viability assay," said Battelle Principal Research Scientist Will
Richter.

Lab testing of physical items followed literature reviews conducted by Battelle to help define the
scope of the project's research and the information needs of libraries, archives, and museums.
Last week, the REALM Project released "Systematic Literature Review of SARS-CoV-2: Spread,
Environmental Attenuation, Prevention, and Decontamination," prepared by Battelle. This is an
in-depth review of published literature on virus transmission, attenuation, and decontamination
methods that can inform discussion and decisions about operations in archives, libraries, and
museums.
"Scientific research is essential to answer questions about the spread of the coronavirus on
materials that are ever-present in our nation's libraries, archives, and museums," said IMLS
Director Crosby Kemper. "We recognized the need to test specific items and surfaces as these
organizations are now reopening, asking: How can we mitigate risk to staff? How should patrons
and visitors handle books, touchable exhibits, or DVD cases? Our aim was to equip America's
libraries, archives, and museums with information to help them do what they do best: continue
serving their communities. I am so pleased and hopeful that this critical work will be reaching the
people who need it."
"Results from this ongoing research project will help libraries, archives and museums plan with
greater confidence at a difficult time," said Skip Prichard, OCLC President and CEO. "Although
there are various sources of general information about handling materials in the time of COVID-
19, this project is designed specifically to test materials and provide useful science -based
information to these institutions. Equipped with this critical information, they will be better able to
determine measures they can take to mitigate exposure to staff and the communities they
serve."
"Any library worker would agree that people make good decisions when their decisions are based
on facts and evidence," said Nate Hill, Executive Director, Metropolitan New York Library Council
and member of the REALM Project Steering Committee. "The output of the REALM Project, both
the systematic literature review and the lab test results, give library workers the information they
need to make practical, informed decisions as they reopen their spaces and resume their
services."
Battelle will be initiating lab testing on an additional five materials this month, with results
expected by the end of July. Examples of public library reopening plans are being collected,
curated, and shared to the website this week. The research reports will inform development of
toolkit resources, content, and programming that will help translate the findings for real -world
applications in museums, libraries, and archives.
"As museums across the country draft their reopening plans, we know that our exhibitions and
galleries contain a vast variety of materials that are not addressed in state and federal public
health guidelines," said Carole Charnow, President and Chief Executive Officer, Boston
Children's Museum and member of the REALM Operations Working Group. "Therefore, we need
up to date, science -based information specific to museums. For those of us that are hands-on,
interactive institutions, this is especially critical. The REALM Project is providing the invaluable

evidence -based information museum professionals need in order to ensure the highest possible
standards of safety for our staff and visitors."
The REALM Project is supported by the Institute of Museum and Library Services (IMLS), the
primary source of federal funding for museums and libraries; and OCLC, a nonprofit library
technology and research organization; in partnership with Battelle, a not -for -profit global scientific
research and development organization.

Q3 2020 Cupertino Poet Laureate Update
1. 5/9/20 Saturday Poetry Pen -Pals #2 "Mother's Day" Workshop
was held online within the Cupertino Library Zoom -Domain with
assistance of Clare - it created a trend of Memory of Beloved Mother
poetry creation around the community.
2. The end of May, I worked as a head judge along with Jeff Moe,
Kaecey McComick and Ann Muto. We've gone through 124 poems
from local Middle and High schools and hand-picked the 14 finalists
(see below) — I co -hosted the Award Ceremony at Zoom on 6/10/20.
https://portal.clubrunner.ca/3794/Stories/poetry-contest-winners-1
3. 6/12/20 1 met with Clare at the library and we started to work together
to create a "Poetry Window" around 2 dozens of Library Windows — to
exhibit 14 winning poems about "Pandemic" from the students.
4. 6/17/20 Meeting with Clare, Christine and Whitney, to discuss using
the CPL budget for "Poetry Window" project.
5. 6/27/20 Saturday Poetry Pen -Pals #3 "DIVERSITY" Workshop
was held online within the Cupertino Library Zoom -Domain with
assistance of Clare and Kyla, an big success — poets wanted it more,
it has inspired some brilliant writing about race and social justice.
6. The inspired "Diversity" poems from the latest CPL workshop could
be added to the "Poetry Window" Project — not only to increase poetry
visibility but to spiritually uplift at this tumultuous time.
