Care of Books

• Carefully photocopy books to protect the spine
  from cracking. Let one half of the book hang
  over side while the other side is flat against
  the copier.
• Preferred shelving is baked enamel steel that can
  stand away from an exterior wall and enclosed
  glass door shelving is good to protect the books
  from dust. Books should be stored vertically and
  not overcrowded.
• Books should be kept dusted with a soft brush or
  vacuumed. Dust is abrasive, will soil paper and
  attract pests. Slight surface dirt on paper and
  cloth bindings may be removed with a white
  eraser. Spot test the eraser before using.
