Yes, COVID-19 has forced a library to say this
A Dublin library is warning people not to microwave books in a bid to kill Covid-19.
Dun Laoghaire Rathdown Library says all returned material is quarantined for 72 hours.
It's warning that all books are fitted with a metallic tag which will burn if microwaved.
