around your library
book.

drink around your
book either.

book in the kitchen or
where food can get on
it.
No, you shouldn’t eat your BOOK!
3. • Do not eat anything while
reading your book.
• If you spill food on your
book, wipe it off and show
Mrs. Fleming when you
bring it back.
• If you spill milk, juice, or
anything other than water
on your book, try to dry it
off and bring it to Mrs.

4. • Keep your book away
from all pets.
• Do not leave your
book where a pet
might get it and chew
on it.
• Keep your book in a
high place or in a
drawer.
5. • You should always keep
your book in your backpack,
especially when it is raining.
• Do not leave a library book
outside at any time.
• If your book gets wet, sit it
up and spread out the pages.
Get a fan and aim it at your
book. If you don’t have a
fan, get your Mom’s hair
dryer and blow it on the
pages.
6. • Always use a bookmark to
mark your spot.
• Never “doggy ear” your
pages in a library book
• Don’t mark your page with
something that will bend or
break your book.
• Do not lay your book face
down to mark your spot.
This will break the book’s
spine and cause it to fall
apart much quicker.
7. • Of course you should share
your books with little brothers
and sisters, but it is your
responsibility to keep the book
safe.
• Do not leave your book alone
with a little brother or sister.
• If a sibling gets a hold of your
library book and writes on it or
tears the pages, it is your
responsibility to pay for the
damage. Remember, you have
only borrowed the book!!!
8. • Be honest.
• Tell Mrs. Fleming what happened.
• Go back to the last place you remember
seeing your book to check.
• Ask friends and teachers if they have
seen the book.
• Accept responsibility and pay for a new
one to keep books in your school
library.
