Hungry bread beetles infest priceless Hungarian book collection

Hungry bread beetles have infested about a quarter of a 400,000-volume collection significant to the history of Hungary. Established in 996 AD, the Archabbey of Pannonhalma in Western Hungary is one of the oldest historic places in the country and its library hosts documents of historic significance to the country dating just as far back. The World's Host Carolyn Beeler spoke to Mate Vincze, Hungary's deputy state secretary for public collections and cultural development, who has been monitoring the situation.
