SANITIZATION OF LIBRARY MATERIALS: All library materials go through a sanitization process before they are checked out to the public. When materials are returned through the Book Drop, we are using gloves to handle material and then all material sit in a box for a minimum of 72 hours. After 72 hours, the material is removed and checked in and wiped down with 70% alcohol solution and placed on the book cart. The material will sit on the cart for a minimum of 72 hours. After that, materials are then filed back into the collection and ready to be checked out again.
Other News: The WPL also has many other services available such as photocopying, faxing, laminating, printing, and conversion of VHS to DVD. For more information call the circulation desk.
The WPL welcomes the donation of gently used DVDs and books. What we don’t catalogue we put in our book sales. Thank you in advance for supporting the library!

With many public libraries across the province opening to the public while practicing social distancing, sanitizing and mandatory mask wearing, why is Wawa’s public library still closed except for curbside pickup and online access? Are staff in the building? Are they working regular hours? If so, follow the federal and local health guidelines and provide the service taxpayers are paying for. Wawa is a community where extremes in income levels exist and less privileged citizens rely on libraries for internet, office services such as printing and copying, and document production and this prolonged and now unnecessary closure to the public must stop. Explain exactly why the public cannot be physically in the library please.
