[LM_NET] Wet books

[Janet Pedersen <jpedersen@COLDSPRINGSCHOOL.NET>]

I'm in a K-6 school and this year we've had several books returned  
that were wet (and some growing mold) from being in backpacks with  
water bottles or a thermos that wasn't closed.  I'm going to talk to  
all students about it at the beginning of school next year when I do  
my book care talks but does anyone have any suggestions?  I'm thinking  
of recommending not putting books in backpacks if there's a bottle of  
liquid in the backpack.  Any other ideas?

Thanks so much,

At the moment that we persuade a child, any child, to cross that  
threshold,
that magic threshold into a library, we change their lives forever,

better. ~~Barack Obama (from a speech to the American Library
