The "interesting" bit of the work I'm doing volunteering this week and next week is figuring out which books in 10 ranks of shelving need new housings, measuring the ones that are getting CMI boxes ordered for them and flagging them (in color! coded! glory!) for which housing they're going to get. Elephant Folios (if they're thick enough) are getting clamshells. Otherwise they're getting custom four-flap wrappers. Everything else that's labeled Folio or Quarto is getting a regular pizza-box unless it's enormous, like the 8cm thick ledger I decided would get a clamshell.

Oh, and ew. mold.
