GEN: wet book with mold...charge replacement?

[Johanna Halbeisen <jhalbeisen@STRSD.SOUTHWICK.MA.US>]

A second grader brought back a Nature's Children book with one corner
wet and the pages moldy.  I could keep the book in the library (after it
dries) as the mold doesn't interfere with the text or pictures.  Would
you
    * pull the book and charge the child the replacement cost?
    * charge replacement (or some lower amount) and leave it in the
collection?
    * do nothing?
I'd like other people's opinions on this one.
Thanks!
