<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>I would like to thank all the kind persons who advised me on what to do with my books.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>As suggested, I cleaned them by hand as much as I could and then put in plastic bags and crammed into the freezer of my fridge. The next step will be to ask a library or a museum to help in removing the remaining moisture, I guess.</DIV>
<DIV>I apologize for not answering to everyone in person; I have lost my notebook, too, and can use internet only occasionaly. </DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Once again thank you and let us all hope for a sunny summer.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Best,</DIV>
<DIV>A. Smiatacz</DIV>

It poured through low windows of Hamilton Library (the main library) and into the basement where maps, old books, and other important features of the library's collection were housed. After the disaster, library staff placed numerous photos of the damage and the restoration process on the library's homepage. I do not know if the photos remain, but they, and any available written text, may be helpful. <BR><BR>One practice that
professors at the University of Hawaii at Manoa have used for their own books suffering from insect damage is to place the book(s) in a large ziploc bag, close the bag, and place it in the refrigerator's freezer for several days. I do not know if this practice will help prevent rotting of paper, but internet searches for "paper preservation" or similar phrases may prove fruitful. <BR><BR>I hope some of the above may be helpful. <BR><BR><BR>Ken Robinson<BR><BR><BR><BR><BR>> Date: Sat, 30 Jul 2011 04:27:13 +0100<BR>> From: <A href="http://uk.mc295.mail.yahoo.com/mc/compose?to=magnesmerald@yahoo.co.uk" ymailto="mailto:magnesmerald@yahoo.co.uk">magnesmerald@yahoo.co.uk</A><BR>> To: <A href="http://uk.mc295.mail.yahoo.com/mc/compose?to=koreanstudies@koreaweb.ws" ymailto="mailto:koreanstudies@koreaweb.ws">koreanstudies@koreaweb.ws</A><BR>> Subject: [KS] help with flooded books<BR>> <BR>> Dear list members <BR>> l would like to ask if some
