[OPLINLIST] smelly books

[Dorothy Seitz]

Blank  Thanks to everyone who responded with suggestions on what to do with smelly books.  I have had a couple of libraries wanting the results of these suggestions.  
1. Place books in a sealed box along with charcoal or the kind of charcoal used in aquariums; 2. Scented dryer sheet used as a bookmark and placed in a sealed box or paper bag; 3. Put "Odor Away" on a cotton ball and place in a sealed box with books; 4. Wipe with disinfecting wipes; 5.  Place books and crumpled newspaper in a paper bag, changing newspaper often.
  
Thanks again!
