He explained the book return mechanism is done by a jemput bola system (officers to take the initiative to visit residents).
"We make sure they (officers) wear masks and gloves and minimize direct contact," he explained.
He added special treatment was also carried out on books that had been borrowed. The book would be put in a plastic bag and then would be dried or aerated when it arrived at the office.
"After drying, the books will be placed on the quarantine shelf for three days before being transferred to the main bookshelf. Surely it can minimize the spread of the coronavirus," he explained.
As for the information, information on reading books and storybooks, library staff will update information on book titles and synopses via Instagram @perpustakaankep.seribu and Facebook account, Perpustakaan Kepulauan Seribu.
