Good Evening everyone!
I am a first year librarian in a middle school (student population 650) =
and really could use some help with the following...
We have been having humidity problems in our library caused by air =
conditioning malfunctions and three floor to ceiling windows that leak =
whenever it rains. During the past two weeks humidity has averaged from =
72% to 81% despite the a/c being run nearly all day. The temp is now =
around 68 degrees F which is coldddddd...
We had 72 books that began to show signs of mildew/mold which we removed =
and treated as recommended.
All of this leads to the problem. The principal at my school is =
convinced that the carpeting which is old and puckered needs to go. The =
problem is that she wants to have tile installed in the entire library. =
What I need help with is a way to convince her that we need carpet and =
not tile. Are there recommendations or reasons for carpet? I just =
think that students walking on tile would be really loud and not =
conducive to quiet studying or reading.
I'll be glad to post any info that I get.
Thanks in advance!
