Packing books to store

[Kathy Lynch <klynch@DUNCANVILLE.K12.TX.US>]

In addition to being a school librarian, I am also the librarian for my
church.  We are in the process of moving to new facilities and the library
will need to be stored for a few years.  I plan to pack the books in Xerox
paper boxes (a size you can handle, they stack easily and have good lids).
Is there something you can put in the boxes with the books to keep them from
smelling musty after a few years of storage.  I thought a dryer sheet would
work or someone has suggested a few sheets of newspaper laid on top of books
before sealing the box.    Will either of these work?  Does anyone have
other suggestions?  TIA
