Always wash and dry your hands before handling library books.

Never eat or drink near library books.

Keep pencils, pens, markers, and other school supplies off of the library books at all times.  If you are taking notes from a book, place your paper on the table or desk, not on the book itself.

Use bookmarks to mark your place, don't dog-ear the pages.

Turn pages carefully, using the corners.

Be careful to keep your library books dry and safe.  Carry books securely to keep them from falling on the ground. When it's raining, make sure to carry your library books in your backpack where they'll stay clean and dry.

Keep all library materials away from pets.

If you notice any damaged library materials, please tell the library staff immediately.
