Styrofoam

One of the county libraries here in Kansas has placed large sheets of
styrofoam in the windows for the purpose of insulation.  The director is
now concerned with off-gassing causing problems for the health of the
collection and for her.  The foam is not being burned, of course, but could
the heat from the sun cause damaging and hazardous off-gassing?
Thanks.

Jim
