How we handle books does make a difference. Every time we touch
a book we can either help preserve it or help destroy it. The
improper handling of books can also cause serious injuries.

Slide 54
Books should be standing straight on the shelves and come right
to the edge of the shelf so that the titles may be easily read.
Also, allowing books to lean is very damaging to the bindings.
WRONG CORRECT
Slide 55
Do not try to remove too many books from a shelf at one
time.
Slide 56
Do not pull books from the shelf using the head cap. This can
easily damage the binding.
Slide 57
Instead, push back the books on either side of the book you
want, then remove your book. Place a blank index card in the place
where the book was. By doing this, you can return the book to its
exact spot if you dont want it anymore, and the next person will be
able to find it.
Slide 58
Do not overreach to retrieve a book from a high shelf. Ask for
help.

than you lexile score. Skim the inside jacket or back cover to find
out if the book would be interesting to you. Read the first few
pages to see if the book is too easy or two difficult for you. Use
the 5 Finger Rule; if there are many more than five difficult words
on the first page, you may want to choose a new book.
