Since the two arson-set calamities which hit the Los Angeles County Central Library in 1986, the hundreds of thousands of books damaged by fire hoses are to begin being conserved. The conservation treatment has included low temperature storage, and will be completed by drying the 700,000 books in a low-pressure drying chamber. The conserved books are to be housed at the Library's temporary home in the Design Center on Spring Street. Volunteer help is preparing for the opening of the Central Library in the near future.
