[LM_NET] Book conservation during summer months

["Vanborssum, Lise" <Lise_Vanborssum@GALVESTON-SCHOOLS.ORG>]

I am looking for documentation and librarians' experiences related to
non air-conditioned libraries during the summer months.  

 

My district is preparing to upgrade the a/c in 8 of our schools this
summer.  This means 8-weeks of hot (in the high 90s), humid (at least
99-00 % daily) weather for our collections.  The current administrative
response to my concerns is that the evidence shows that the books will
not be significantly damaged. Such evidence has not been produced and I
remain quite concerned re my school's collection.   Any information you
would be willing to pass on to me regarding this issue would be most
appreciated.

 

Thank you,
