[Libs-Or] Libs-Or Digest, Vol 206, Issue 19

I've been looking at what our best sneeze guard options are for protecting staff/patrons once we reopen our service desks. Unfortunately, our service desk looks like the titanic and so purchasing pre-made sneeze guards seems like a very expensive way to go as we'd have to buy many of them to fully protect everyone. I saw on another list-serv a library that purchased sheets of plexi and 2x4s to construct their own shield (pic attached). This is the route we're taking but we also have a woodworker/craftsman as our building maintenance person so it'll look nice. He visited our local glass supply store and they only had a few sheets of plexi left and said that it's going fast and that supplies are backordered into June at this point. I'm guessing whichever route one chooses, the decision should be made now or you'll be left w/o any protection...tho our local post office is using clear vinyl shower curtains as their protection. Good luck everyone!

Hi, everyone,

We are currently working through what a safe, limited service model could look like with buildings open to the public. One thing we're pretty sure we're going to need is something like this. Has anyone shopped for said things? What have you learned? What features are important? What size of hole? After looking at options what did you decide on? Any and all wisdom welcome.

This one came from https://www.shoppopdisplays.com/12884/portable-clear-acrylic-u-shape-sneeze-guard-with-access-hole-ships-flat-355h-x-304w-x-1175d.html, and is used only to show you the kind of thing I'm talking about.

Thanks,
Amy

The local McDonald?s is passing food out the window using a serving tray. I was wondering if incorporating something like that with a sneeze guard might be a concept to incorporate. I do think sneeze guards are needed at libraries. A good idea coming out of this pandemic that we maybe should have used for a long time. We don?t like too much separation from the public because it feels less friendly but it does seem completely reasonable at public service desks now and into the future.
