It is very important that we quickly identify
and remove any Library materials that sustained water damage to prevent the
spread of mold. Be vigilant watching for evidence of mold and mildew over
time, because it is not always visible immediately..
1) Wear gloves & masks when dealing with water-damaged materials.
2) Segregate wet/damp materials from unaffected dry materials. If in doubt, let
it go. We will not be doing remediation of NL material due to the volume of
items.
3) A storm damaged item user record has been set up for each location: XXX XXX
HARVEY DAMAGED MATERIAL, user id is similar: XXX-HARVEY-DAMAGED. Check out all
damaged returns and items damaged inside buildings to your unit's
account. (*Do Not use regular DISCARD accounts.)
4) Do not stamp items.
5) Box all items after processing. Wet items should be placed in boxes lined
with plastic bags, to prevent leakage and box breakage. Follow standard
box weigh guidelines, keeping in mind that wet items are heavier than dry ones.
Use standard Friends/Discards box label," Circle DISCARDS, add special
note WET.
6) Maintain a list of categories of items that need to to be replaced in your
unit. Email list to Sara Karow LMS. Float Team will work on
redistribution of floating material to locations in need.
7) Wipe down any shelving that got wet before shifting or restocking materials.
8) Contact LMS (x31469) if you have any questions.
