[AISLE-Share] Stinky Situation

[Email list for the Association of Illinois School Library Educators]

I also find that putting them in a seal-able (airtight) box with cat litter
in it works too. I put books on a dish rack/strainer with the pages opened
a bit.

I leave them in the box for about a week and it usually works well.
