Ganderton
Bread contains moisture and dries out as it ages, while crackers are dry and absorb moisture.
Both will even out to the atmospheric humidity level of the room they are in.

Why bread becomes hard with age while the cookies and crackers become soft with time?
Bread, if left out for too long, will become stale. This happens for 2 reasons. One, if the bread was hot, it would be softer. As it cools, the crust will harden. Otherwise, air causes the soft-ness of the bread to deplete. The air can dry out the bread, cool it off, harden the crust, take the moisture out, and possibly cause it to grow mold (if you leave it for TOO long). Some cookies / crackers will do the same. Others will become mushy. This happens as the bonds within the cookie / cracker that made it crunchy or firm begin to loosen. As moisture seeps into a cookie / cracker, that bond will also weaken and it will become softer with time.
