Bedbugs on the books at Mid Manhattan Library

On bedbugger.com there is a recent post about finding bedbugs at the Mid Manhattan Library.
Well, no wonder; Cimex loves to read! And they love to breed in the spines of your books, moult
on them, and defecate all over the edges of the pages. Entire libraries can be at risk here.

So how is the press responding? Rather poorly. Bedbugs have recently been described erroneously on the CBC, with a picture of a beetle instead of a bedug...

But what do we expect from the 'churnalists'? Actually, I am talking to one now, or rather playing phone tag with one who just may do a rather good job. We will see soon. Hopefully the city will listen and close 'Ground Zero', which is what some people call the building on 8th Avenue near the offices of the Daily News (who have NOT responded to calls and emails about this problem.)
