Waltco Bin Washing Week – Aug 5-9

During the week of August 5, libraries will be asked to wash or clean all of the Waltco bins in their possession. On their many travels, the Waltco bins collect a lot of grime, and bin washing week is done in order to keep library materials clean and safe. Questions about the process? Contact Katelyn (noack@ifls.lib.wi.us) Instructions are on the calendar.
