How should library books be treated? Wash your hands! Don’t handle library books when you have dirty
hands. Don’t leave books outside! Don’t get the books wet! Water ruins books. Keep your library books
in a dry, safe place. Keep your library books away from pets and baby brothers or sisters. Handle with care. Books should not be tossed around. Turn one page at a time. Be gentle, and don’t tear the pages. Use a bookmark to save your place. Do not turn the page corners
down! DO NOT write or mark in library books! Return your books on time so that others may enjoy them. Don’t try to fix damaged books yourself. Let Ms. Knight or Mrs.
Meredith repair books.
