To help preserve it’s collection, the Old Town library chemically treated part of its collection to prevent bookworms from causing more damage.
The thinking was that when the worms came out of their pupae, the chemicals would cause their wings to be underdeveloped and they would be unable to travel to mate.
And the more they ate, thebless they would be able to reproduce.
And so it was that too many books spoiled the moths.
