Yes, paper lice can infest old books because they feed on the microscopic mold and mildew that can grow on paper. They are commonly found in warm, humid environments like basements and libraries, making old books a perfect habitat for them. Regularly inspecting and cleaning books, as well as controlling the humidity levels, can help prevent paper lice infestations.
