Every time something is done in or to the library or the building that houses it, there is the potential to create an imbalance in the internal environment. These changes can cause the collection to deteriorate more quickly, can exacerbate allergies, and make the staff sick, not to mention cause water damage to the building through carelessness or accident. Buildings that have windows that don’t open, chronic maintenance problems, or have experienced a water related disaster are prime candidates for a sick building. Learn about these potential problems before they affect your building and what to do to prevent or counteract them.
