*Shared on behalf of the REALM Project*
The REALM Project has released the results of the first round of Battelle's laboratory testing for COVID-19 on commonly circulated library materials. The five materials tested in this round included a hardback book cover (buckram cloth), paperback book cover, plain paper pages inside a book, plastic protective book covering, and a DVD case.
We encourage you to sign up for the REALM Project email list to receive timely project updates when new information is released.
