Oneonta Public Library might be a small town library but they are doing BIG things to serve their patrons and community in this Pandemic season.

When PIKinc and International Library Services launched the very first Book Sanitizer offered in the US, OPL Director, Ricky Statham, jumped on getting one. The ILS Book Sanitizer is one of a kind in the industry right now, sanitizing up to 6 books in 30 seconds, with its compact design, simple counter-top set up and standard plug-in. This state of the art machine utilizes UV-C (UVGI) light along with high air pressure to remove dust and kill pathogenic germs.  Lamp positioning and high-pressure air circulation ensure that all parts of the book are sanitized to include the spine, pages, and cover. The compact design and quiet operation allows Libraries to place the unit wherever it is most convenient for use. On top of all that, books are not all that this Sanitizing Machine takes care of. Let Ricky tell you all about what he and his team are using the ILS Book Sanitizing Machine for. 

The ILS Book Sanitizer not only sanitizes books for quick recirculating, but it can also be used for Laptops, Tablets, Hot Spots, DVDs, CDs, Keyboards, Masks, and even Children’s Books, book bags, and reusable shopping bags. “The possibilities are really endless. Just put them in, close the door, push the button, and 30 seconds later, everything is clean”, said Ricky, the Library Director at Oneonta Public Library.

This Book Sanitizer goes the extra mile too with a deodorizing feature to help your books, etc. to smell great. The deodorizer compartment holds a standard 6.5 oz fragrance spray-can, easily picked up at most local stores. At Oneonta Public Library, they aren’t just keeping it safe, they are using this aspect of the machine to make it fun! Check out how they plan to use this feature to spice it up a little for the upcoming holidays.

With all that the ILS Book Sanitizer machine offers, it would be perfect for Public Schools, Private Schools, Daycares, and community service entities. Being community-centered, see how our clients are also reaching out to local First Responders and Health Care Workers to offer the use of the machine to sanitize their masks. Ricky, Library Director of Oneonta Public Library, said, “They do so much for us every day and this is just our little way of serving them.”

Not only did Ricky make sure his Library got one of the ILS Book Sanitizing Machines, but he “wants to make sure that other Libraries know about the machines, how much of a difference they are making, and how to get their own.

We took hours and hours of manpower and replaced it with 30 seconds.”
