Library Collections - Coping with Pests and Mold: Webinar (02/09/17) 

Pests and mold are common culprits for damage and loss in libraries and cultural heritage collections. While preventing infestation is central to good preservation practice, there may come a time when you discover pests or mold (or both!) in your collections.

This two-hour webinar covers strategies for preventing and mitigating issues in your library, archives and museum collections, as well as larger institutional policies and procedures that can be implemented to reduce the chance of infestation.
