As COVID-19 spreads, the Dudgeon-Monroe Graphic Novel Library is taking extra measures to keep our workers safe and books clean. Please be patient with us as we combat the changes COVID-19 brings.

How We're Keeping the Community Safe

D & M has taken measures to ensure that we are not spreading COVID-19 through our workers, books, clients, or other. Here's how we're doing it:

1. We have limited the people who will be in contact with the books.

In order to keep contact to a minimum, we are reducing the staff who sort and deliver the graphic novels and magazines.

2. Our books are being quarantined and sanitized

Each and every book that is returned to our library is being well-sanitized and is taken out of circulation until any potential bacteria has been killed. Although this will cause our service to be slightly slower, we are doing this in the interest of safety. The books will be back in the running before you know it!

3. We are keeping in-person contact limited and outdoors

We are shying away from in-person contact, such as book drop-off, pick-up, and other such occurrences. In the few situations where in-person contact is required, we are keeping this brief, safe, and outdoors.

Please be patient with any delay that may occur. We are doing our best to provide efficient service while being safe.

How We're Helping the World Through the Pandemic

We're extremely lucky to be in the places we are right now. We want to help others. 5% of all proceeds will be going towards helping communities living in poverty and communities that were hit especially hard by COVID-19. We hope to soon be able to provide a list of charities.

Eventually, we hope to be able to donate to places around the world with non-ideal education and/or limited access to books.
