Maintenance of Books
Sample:
Do’s
1. Take care of your favourite books by treating it carefully and storing it responsibly.
2. Store your books in a cool and dry atmosphere away from heat resources.
3. Dust your book regularly and put a protective cover on it to be extra careful.
4. Wrap the books in acid-free cloth or purchase a book-storage box.
5. Handle books hygienically.
6. Turn pages carefully.
7. Try to use two hands, while reading.
8. Cover them with brown sheets every two months, and label them neatly.
Don’ts:
1. Don’t touch your book with dirty hands or read it while eating or drinking.
2. Avoid storing books in plastic bags. Books need to breathe and plastic can cause moulding or warping.
3. Remove large or bulky bookmarks.
4. Avoid folding or dog-earing the comers of pages, as they can cause lasting damage.
5. Avoid damage to the binding.
6. Don’t bend paper back covers, while reading. It can be difficult to get them to resume their original shape and it often causes spine damage.
