This uplifts me during a rough week: #Edmonton #PublicLibrary is offering library users CO2 monitors to check out. Everyone can start taking measurements about indoor air quality -- and if it's not great, they can fix it or add air filters or wear better masks.
The library only announced it today and there are already 23 holds for 21 devices. People WANT to measure and improve #IndoorAirQuality, they just need tools + info!

@kdnyhan Neat! I've been asking Greater Victoria Public Library (GVPL) and UVic libraries to start CO2 monitor lending programs since August and haven't had much luck yet. I did notice there's at least 1 program in BC now in North Vancouver:

195 holds in 7 devices! Very popular indeed!

CO2 Monitor Kits | North Vancouver District Public Library

Borrow a CO2 Monitor Kit to measure indoor air quality at your home or small office!   Good air quality can help our community lower the risk of airborne infections as well as support our general well-being.   CO2 Monitors measure the level of carbon dioxide (CO2) in an area to give an indication of how well-ventilated it is. Knowing the CO2 level can help you identify if you

@missmatsuko But yikes, that ratio...
23 holds : 21 devices --> interest and access --> :)
195 holds : 7 devices --> lots of interest but insufficient access --> :(
