In an effort to increase public education concerning bed bugs and their growing presence in public spaces across the United States, the Monroe County Library System has gathered information regarding the return of these pests, how they travel and what to do if you suspect you have found a bed bug in your home. We invite the public to ask questions and stay informed, and encourage you to contact us with questions, concerns and suggestions.
