BENEFITS: • Recreational readers and students, will be unhappy with dirty, dusty or badly organised book stock.        The cleaning process will enhance their library experience.  • The way recreational readers and students treat library stock will also be improved.        Dirty stock creates a less caring attitude towards borrowed items. • People take their cues from the environment they find: a collection that is clean and well-kept promotes general respect and care for the materials it contains. • It is quite possible that staff are unaware that they are being affected by dust etc. on and around book-stock.        Staff savings may be made against the reduction of sick leave. • A major element in stock deterioration is the ingress of dust, 'biological elements' and chemical traces from the atmosphere. • Cleaning creates a more ‘book stock friendly’ library environment so that mould, insects and other pests are greatly reduced. • Reducing dust on the outer surfaces of books, tapes, or CDs greatly reduces the likelihood of it working into the interior, potentially causing irreversible (expensive), soiling or scratching. • If reserve stock material and irreplaceable materials such as local history items are to be reproduced, it is necessary that they be clean before the copying process begins. If stock is kept clean the preparatory cleaning cost is greatly reduced.
