I heard that too and maybe under worst case scenarios that's true but we
haven't seen that in day to day and we watched them really carefully for
the first few years.  But maybe we don't have them being left out in cars
much or other bright / hot lights that would fade them.  Our patron abuse
of books is usually less sanitary than that (unfortunately).
