New Library Card Option Empowers Parents

PRESS RELEASE (04-23-2025

MACON COUNTY PUBLIC LIBRARY

Starting May 1st Fontana Regional Library will be offering a new Library Card option for parents with kids 15 and under. This new card designation, which parents can choose for existing or brand new library cards, only allows for library books and materials within the children's department to be checked out. Because this restricted card option will not allow for items outside the children's area to be checked out, if a parent wants their child to have access to any items outside the children's area they will have to check out those items using their own full-access library cards.

Fontana Regional Library's policies reinforce the role and choices of parents in their child's reading and development. Library cards are issued with parental consent, and every location enforces the Safe Child Policy, which requires that children under the age of 12 have a parent or caregiver with them. The Juvenile Limited Card is another tool that parents can utilize if they wish. Parents who would like to change their child's card over to the Juvenile Limited Card can visit any FRL Circulation Desk and complete the quick and easy process. If parents do not want to change their children's current access to borrow materials, then no action is necessary.

For more information please see the Circulation Policy at fontanalib.org/about-us#policies or visit any Fontana Regional Library location.

Macon County Public Health Reports Increase in Campylobacter Cases

PRESS RELEASE (04-23-2025)

MACON COUNTY PUBLIC HEALTH

Franklin, NC – Macon County Public Health is reporting an increase in Campylobacter infections, with five cases reported since March 1st and a total of eleven confirmed cases so far in 2025. For comparison, the county recorded 29 Campylobacter cases in all of 2024. While the recent cases appear to be unrelated, the trend serves as a timely reminder about the importance of safe food handling and proper hygiene.

Campylobacter is a bacterium that commonly causes gastrointestinal illness in humans. It is often associated with the consumption of undercooked poultry, unpasteurized dairy products, or exposure to contaminated water. Symptoms typically include diarrhea (which can be bloody), fever, stomach cramps, nausea, and vomiting. Although most people recover without treatment, serious complications can occur, especially in young children, older adults, and those with weakened immune systems.

“We are seeing a noticeable increase in reported Campylobacter cases in Macon County,” said Jennifer Germain from Macon County Public Health. “While the cases do not appear to be linked, it’s a good opportunity to remind everyone to take precautions when preparing food and to wash hands frequently.” Tips to Prevent Campylobacter Infection:

 Wash hands with soap and water for at least 20 seconds before preparing or eating food, after using the bathroom, and after handling animals. 

 Always cook poultry to an internal temperature of 165°F. 

 Avoid drinking unpasteurized milk or untreated water. 

 Prevent cross-contamination by keeping raw meat separate from ready-to-eat foods. 

 Clean all cutting boards, counters, and utensils with hot soapy water after preparing raw meat.

Macon County Public Health continues to monitor the situation and is working closely with state health partners to identify patterns and promote prevention strategies.

For more information about Campylobacter and how to protect yourself and your family, please visit NC DPH: Campylobacteriosis or call Macon County Public Health at (828) 349-2081.
