Hungary has a very old library. It is 1,000 years old. Now, this library has a big problem. Small bugs called beetles are eating the books.
The library has 400,000 books. About 100,000 of these books are in danger. Workers are taking these books off the shelves. They put the books in boxes. Then, they remove all the air from the boxes. This will kill the beetles.
The library hopes to open again next year. They want to save all the old and important books. These books are part of Hungary's history.
