Guess a lot of people eat chocolate while they are reading. :) Patty Patty Braden Library Director Romulus Public Library 11121 Wayne Road Romulus, MI 48174 (734) 942-7589 www.romulus.lib.mi.us ----- Original Message ----- From: "Jaema Berman" <jberman@tln.lib.mi.us> To: "Jessica Holman" <jdholman@uwmalumni.com> Cc: michlib-l@mail.mcls.org Sent: Friday, January 24, 2014 3:25:50 PM Subject: Re: [Michlib-l] Chocolate on book edges Jessica, The sugar and moisture mixes with the paper and creates a kind of glue and the fat in the chocolate is almost impossible to remove.
