<\/a>Caitlin and Kristin spent most of the day at the Art Library sorting through the air-drying books. They inspected almost 400 books. At the end of the day there were still\u00a018 volumes\u00a0needing more\u00a0air drying time. The rest were put on carts. About 200 volumes\u00a0will need repair work —\u00a0flattening, small repairs,\u00a0or new enclosures. About 180 books are ready for reshelving. Yes, we know the book in the photo is upside down! As a book is air-dried the book is rotated to make sure that all sides are dry. As a book starts to dry the water settles to the bottom. You can actually feel that the bottom of the book is heavier as you lift to turn it over.<\/p>\nFriday, February 20, 2009 Caitlin and Kristin spent most of the day at the Art Library sorting through the air-drying books.
