The Shediac Public Library would like to share with you: Tips to help you take good care of books! By reading and following these simple tips, you will be helping your library keep its books in tip-top condition.
Tip #1: • Keeping books clean • No Food • Clean Hands • Book Respect
Please do not feed the books! All a book wants and needs is a reader
Please remember to have clean (and dry) hands when you read and handle your books. Clean hands keep books clean! Unlike you, books shouldn’t take baths, so it’s important to make sure they don’t get dirty.
Please NEVER Colour Write Scribble Draw Cut OR glue the pages of a library book Treat them like friends and they will be there for you whenever you need them… … so, please respect our books.
Tip #2: • Keeping Books Safe • Careful of Pets • Bookmarks and Dog-eared Pages • Using Book Bags
Please keep your library books safe from pets AHHHH!!! They don’t understand that books are not toys to play with.
Using a Bookmark I … Bookmarks Please always use bookmarks to find where you are in a book. Bookmark Dog-eared pages Never fold down the corners of a book’s pages… these are called “dog-eared” pages. Books don’t like having dog-eared pages... they risk getting torn. I’m a book, not a dog…
Please use Book Bags Book bags will keep your books safe from the weather and other things that could damage them. Plus, if you keep your books in a bag, they stay safe together…and you will be able to find them when you want to read them or return them to the library. HELP!! I’m lost!! Otherwise they might get lost in your home and get hurt. DUST BUNNIES!!!
Tip #3: • Getting Books Back to the Library • The Return Date • Renewing Books • Returning Books
