May have to cut it up

My library card.  Why do I read this stuff??  Apparently, one of the biggest sources of bedbugs are library books.  Oh, and luggage in airports.  Once one bedbug gets into your home, you've had it.  They've been found in libraries in Hamilton, Vancouver, Edmonton and Toronto, to name a few, and they're probably in Calgary branches too. 

Staff are trained to look for the critters and if they suspect an item is carrying one of the insects, librarians put the item in a plastic bag, seal it and throw it out.  Supervisors are notified and equipment and furniture are cleaned and treated.  Wow!

As I said, I may have to cut up my card.
