Friday 8/10 update

Friday's report from Neal Cass. You can see photos here.

FRIDAY LIBRARY FIRE UPDATE
There isn’t as much new information to report today, but here is what we have. It is likely that from now on we won’t have new information every day.
BOOKS
As you can see in the photos, the books are being moved out. Through Thursday, 900 boxes of books had been moved out with an estimated 300 more boxes to go.

CLEANED BOOKS
The first batch of books were cleaned. They were placed in a 25’ x 80’ room with a hydroxyl that gives off ULV light. This removes the smoke smell. About 1,000 books can be done at a time. So far, the results seem very positive for the first batch so if this stays true, the books can go through this process and won’t have to be replaced.
Next week the shelves will be removed for cleaning and by the end of the week the building will be nearly empty.
LOCAL HISTORY ROOM
There are pictures below to show that the Local History Room is in good shape. The carpet will have to be removed, but everything else is fine.
Continued thanks for all the support.
