Bedbugs are gone from Wake County library, but patrons wanted earlier notice

Inspectors have found no evidence of bedbugs at Oberlin Regional Library since they confirmed earlier this month they had treated the library for the parasites. Bedbugs had infiltrated the library on Clark Avenue after books were returned with them, The News & Observer previously reported. Wake County had the entire building sprayed in mid-October, spokesperson Alice Avery said, and the infestation has not returned. “Library staff remain vigilant about inspecting returned materials and will continue to follow established procedures to protect our patrons, team members, collections and facilities,” Avery wrote in an email to The N&O. How did the bed bugs get there? In August, Oberlin received multiple bed-bug-infested books in returns from patrons, according to public records obtained by The N&O. “Two library patrons were identified at [Oberlin] as the likely source of the bed bugs,” Wake County Library Director Tammy Baggett wrote in an Oct. 19 email sent to two Wake County employees. “Both have been trespassed from entering libraries until they are able to resolve the issue within their homes. We have offered them remote access to library resources and services during this time.” Library staff at Eva Perry Regional Library in Apex, Cary Regional Library and
