Books don’t like having dog-eared
pages... they risk getting torn.
I’m a book,
not a dog…
Never fold down the corners
of a book’s pages… these are
called “dog-eared” pages.
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
DUST
in your home and get hurt.
BUNNIES!!!
Tip #3:
Getting Books Back to the Library
• The Return Date
• Renewing Books
• Returning Books
The return date, or due date, is the date that
your library books should be returned
to the library.
You should always try to bring your
library books on time so you don’t get late fees.
It`s important to bring your books back to the
library so that other people can read them, too.
If you want or need to keep your books longer
you can always try to renew them.
Renewing books allows you to keep
them a bit longer.
There are three ways that you
can renew books.
May I renew these
books, please?
You can :
• Go to the Library,
• Call the Library,
• Go on the Library’s website.
** Always make sure you have your library card with you to
renew your books.

Please let the librarians
put the books away
When you bring your books back to the
library, please put them in one of the book
chutes for the librarian to put away.
Then, you can go get more!
When you’re picking out books…
If you take a book off the shelves and
don’t know where to put it back, ask a
librarian for help...
...we know where
their home is.
YAY!
By taking good care of library books, you –
and many others - can enjoy them over and
over again.
Thanks for being a
reader! And thanks
for taking good care
of me!!
