[LM_NET] cleaning books

[Vicki Nelson <nelsonvl@ECTOR-COUNTY.K12.TX.US>]

Wise ones, I am trying to decide how to start getting a handle on cleaning our 
books and bookshelves.  We have been working in the fiction section, reorganizing 
sections and generally making it more user-friendly.  As we do this, our hands are 
getting filthy from the dust on the books and the shelves.  (The lack of a 
full-time library clerk for the past three years is evident in many areas like 
this.)   I've been using a little bit of windex on paper towels to quickly wipe 
them down as we go, but I know there must be something better.  

I would like to wipe books down when they come back in before we reshelve them.  
What do you all suggest?  I've seen a book cleaning sponge in some of the catalogs, 
but wasn't sure about it.  

Thanks for sharing the benefit of your experience.
