Have you ever noticed that part of the stereotypical outfit of a librarian is a cardigan? The library isn&#8217;t chilled for our comfort; it&#8217;s for the books. They don&#8217;t need to be cold, per se, but they do need to be kept dry, and the most efficient way to do that is to remove moisture with an air-conditioning system. Above a certain temperature and humidity, molds begin to multiply, and mold is the the #1 enemy of paper. (Fire is also a problem, of course, but much rarer.) So, my assistants all sympathize, but there&#8217;s little we can recommend but to either a) wander the library in search of a less chilled area or b) join the library fashion-world and don a cardigan.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I&#8217;m so sorry you&#8217;re cold.
