[ISLMA-Share] Book Repair

[Email list for the Illinois School Library Media Association]

While I agree with the whole biohazard and yuck thing, I'd like to offer a
tip that worked for me in a situation. I had a student get some blood on
the exterior page edges of a book when the book was closed. It was just a
small amount and it hadn't permeated the pages just the edges.  I sanded it
off with sandpaper. Won't work with all situations, but it was great for
this situation! It actually just sanded off the edges of the pages, thus
the blood was gone.

Your decision about whether or not this gets rid of the hazard.

Happy weekending!
