What Is A Book Sanitizer?

Everyday Protection for Shared Library Materials

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

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.

HOW IT WORKS

UVC Technology + High-Pressure Air

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.
