That being said, there may be some things that you may need to take some special precautions before moving them into your unit, namely your textbooks.
How to Protect Them
Your textbooks are a valuable commodity that may need to last you more than one semester. So here are some tips one should remember while having storage for textbooks services:
Climate-Controlled Environment- The area they are being stored in should be climate controlled. This is incredibly important, as the atmosphere it is stored in can cause damage to the paper of the book. If it is too hot or humid, it can lead to mold damaging the book.
Secure Locations– Make sure your unit is safe and secure. Though most consider a secure location to represent potential human break-ins, you will want this to extend to the pest variety. The book covers would be something a rat would like to gnaw on, and the glue interior of the spine and the book’s paper are tasty treats to cockroaches and other six-legged pests. Make sure the units are secure from all intruders.
Prepping the Books– Make sure the books are clean and dirt free. You can then add to the protection of these books by wrapping them in cloth and storing them plastic storage boxes.
