If there are special conditions for ultraviolet disinfection, it is a relatively simple and effective method to kill germs by irradiating books with ultraviolet tubes for more than half an hour. Jinan Library collects books returned by readers every week and puts them into ultraviolet disinfection boxes for disinfection. At the same time, he also reminded booksellers that it is best to disinfect the bought books with ultraviolet light and wash their hands after reading them to avoid getting sick. After the books are returned, there are hidden dangers of bacteria. If it is put on the shelves directly without taking disinfection measures in time, it may do harm to the health of staff, and popular books are often lent out before they are put on the shelves, which is not conducive to the health of readers.

Therefore, it is necessary to disinfect the returned books. In order to facilitate the timely circulation of returned books, the library should set up a small disinfection room, and install ultraviolet lamps indoors to disinfect the returned books on duty before putting them on the shelves to prevent them from becoming sources of infection. The library should also install ultraviolet lamps in the storage area of the stacks, controlled by special switches, and disinfect all the books in the storage area once a week, so as to prevent the dust adsorbed on the books from becoming a breeding ground for bacteria, thus avoiding the harm of bacteria to readers' health when books are lent out.
