The National Preservation Office is running its popular course How clean are your books? on 4 December 2006. Full details and an online registration form are at http://www.bl.uk/services/npo/clean06.html Surface dirt on library and archive materials is unsightly, unhealthy and provides nourishment for pests. It is often an indication of poor standards of collection care. The NPO has organised a training day to demonstrate how dirt damages collections and how it can be tackled using a variety of methods.
