GEN: Freezing books after flood

[Rena Deutsch <renadeutsch@WORLDNET.ATT.NET>]

We had a flood in our school overnight that damaged a large section of the
school, fortunately not the library.  One of the teachers whose room was
affected brought in three books she had borrowed from us.  They were pretty
wet but not soaking.

I immediately looked in the archives to find out what to do and read the
tip on freezing the books. The books are now in the freezer.

What I need to know is, how long should they remain there?

Thanks!
