Wet Book Rescue Video a Hit

In the midst of hurricane season this year, the blog “Open Culture” shared the “Wet Book Rescue” video created by Syracuse University preservation librarian Marianne Hanley and former Preservation Department employee Sarah Kim. Here’s how they described it:

“After the hurricanes in Florida and Texas, the question has surely been asked: How to save those wet, damaged books? Above, you can watch a visual primer from the Syracuse University Libraries–people who know something about taking care of books. It contains a series of tips—some intuitive, some less so—that will give you a clear action plan the next time water and paper meet.”

The video has been shared on a number of other sites, including lifehacker.com, Travel Between the Pages and The Kid Should See This. As of this writing, it has tallied over 141,000 views, up from a few hundred prior to these posts.
