[CASL-L] dusting tops of books

[Tracy Earnshaw]

I haven't dusted in awhile, honestly.  The rug catches most of the dust but
the books near high-traffic areas do get dusty.  Once or twice a year would
be best.  I also used to inventory every year but haven't yet this year.  I
try to time dusting with weeding and/or inventory.  We have microfiber
cloths that we use dry and they are great for the shelves.  For the tops of
the books, we have a mini shop vac that we borrow from the custodians with
a long plastic hose.  I use the brush attachment and it sucks up the dust
from the pages.
