I have a group of volunteers who come every Tuesday to
catalog.  This week I had them start on some books
housed inside a bookcase.  As the volunteers went
through several of the books they noticed many of them
had mold inside.  Because we currently have no storage
facility at all, we are storing everything inside the
house in acid-free boxes or in the case of the books
back inside the bookcase.  We have no freezer or
isolation room to put the books in.  My question is
should we continue to catalog them?
