Our Book Sanitizers help libraries and schools maintain **safe, clean, ready-to-circulate materials** without lengthy downtime. Using **UVC (UVGI) ultraviolet technology** and **high-pressure air circulation**, these machines treat the covers, spines, and pages of books and other materials quickly and efficiently. High-pressure air helps separate pages so treatment reaches deep into the material - including large children’s picture books. What started as a helpful resource during a unique moment quickly proved useful for everyday library operations. Today, libraries use these machines to help address: - lingering odors from cigarette smoke, marijuana smoke, and more - mold and mildew concerns - bed bugs, mites, lice, and other parasites - pathogenic bacteria and viruses on shared materials - faster turnaround for high-demand circulating items ![ILS-Book-Sanitizer-in-Florida-Library](https://www.internationallibraryservices.com/hs-fs/hubfs/ILS-Book-Sanitizer-in-Florida-Library.webp?width=600&height=800&name=ILS-Book-Sanitizer-in-Florida-Library.webp) ## **WHY LIBRARIES STILL USE THEM** ## More Than a Temporary Solution Book Sanitizers continue to solve practical, everyday problems libraries face long after emergency-response funding ended. ### Eliminate Odors Our Tabletop Model includes a deodorizing feature that helps reduce unpleasant smells from smoke and other common material issues. ### Support Faster Recirculation Instead of pulling materials out of use for extended periods, libraries can process items quickly and return them to circulation faster. ### Treat More Than Books These machines can be used on a wide range of shared materials, including: - books - children’s picture books - DVDs and CDs - laptops and tablets - hotspots - cell phones - toys and more ### Help Address Pest Concerns This technology is also known to kill bed bugs, mites, lice, and other parasites that can affect shared library materials. ### Promote Cleaner Shared Use For libraries and schools managing high-touch collections, Book Sanitizers help support cleaner circulation and added confidence for staff and patrons. ##### This makes Book Sanitizers a valuable addition to today’s **library tech products**, helping libraries solve practical, everyday challenges. ## HOW IT WORKS ## UVC Technology + High-Pressure Air These library technology products use UVC (UVGI) and airflow to treat materials quickly and efficiently without slowing down circulation. Both sanitizer models use: - **UVC (UVGI) ultraviolet technology** - **High-pressure air circulation** - **No installation required** - **Standard 110/120 wall outlet power** The airflow helps open and separate pages so treatment can reach more surfaces of the material, including inside pages - not just the outer cover. Simply plug the unit into a standard outlet and it’s ready to use. ![ILS Book Sanitizer at OPL 06-1](https://www.internationallibraryservices.com/hs-fs/hubfs/ILS%20Book%20Sanitizer%20at%20OPL%2006-1.webp?width=2000&name=ILS%20Book%20Sanitizer%20at%20OPL%2006-1.webp) ## Available Models #### Designed to fit seamlessly into existing workflows as flexible library technology products for libraries of all sizes. ![ILS Tabletop Book Sanitizer at OPL 02 (1)](https://www.internationallibraryservices.com/hs-fs/hubfs/ILS%20Book%20Sanitizer%20at%20OPL%2002%20(1).webp?width=1500&height=2000&name=ILS%20Book%20Sanitizer%20at%20OPL%2002%20(1).webp) ### **Tabletop Model** A compact option for smaller spaces and quick-turn materials. - Sanitizes **up to 6 books or materials in 30 seconds** - Includes a **deodorizing feature** - Ideal for libraries, schools, and circulation work areas Find Out More ##### Libraries use these **library technology services** to support cleaner shared materials, improve turnaround time, and address common circulation concerns.
