	We all love library patrons. They use the services we provide, check out resources, research information, and ask questions that keep our lives interesting. Sometimes, they are less popular, particularly when they return books that look as though they have been taken swimming. This happens, however: you go out in the morning, with a stop to return library books on your to-do list. At some point during the day, the sky changes from sparkling blue to dark gray. Inevitably you are outside with your library books; your umbrella is back at home. The sky opens up and starts to pour. The books are doomed. Not every damp book has to be discarded, however. You can salvage books from such tragedy. Step 1: Assess the Damage Step 2: Treating a Wet Book Step 3: Desiccation Chambers and Sun Treatment
