Early in April I began noticing my books were getting wavy pages. I posted about it here and was advised that humidity might be an issue, so I invested in a few hygrometers around my condo and an expensive dehumidifier.

In April the humidity in my condo unit swung from from 25% to 42% for the last few weeks it has swung from 35% to 52%. I expect that the humidity will rise in my unit as the summer proceeds. These big humidity swings can happen over the course of a day. For instance, Saturday night the humidity was around 35%. By the next day it was 42%. Right now it’s around 50%.

The result of all of this is the pages of my books are wavier than ever. Is there anything I can do in this situation?

I’ve purchased a Hisense dehumidifier for my at-home library. I’m wondering if it’s necessary to install the castors. I’m having some difficulty clicking them in place and I don’t actually need them (I intend on keeping the humidifier in one place), so I was wondering if I could just skip this step. The instruction manual doesn’t say either way.
