[LM_NET] mold vs. money

["Savidge, Suzanne" <SSavidge@MERS.K12.NJ.US>]

Dear all, 
 
I had a student bring in three brand new books sticky and slightly page damp from a 
juice box explosion in his back pack.  I washed the covers and set them to dry with 
pages apart.  Other than some wrinkled edges the damage is minimal.  My question 
for you all, is it a bad risk to put them into the collection?  This lad will be 
out $80 for books but what are the probabilites of a mildew/mold problem in our 
future.  We have not had any problems in the past, as far as I can ascertain.  
Please advise.
