Timothy Edwards Middle School

Here are some suggestions for keeping our library books in great condition:

• Keep books away from food or drinks; be careful with your water bottles!  If your backpack has a side pocket, place your water bottles there and not inside with your books.  
• Wash hands before reading a book.
• Report all damages to Mrs. Longo for proper repair.
• Use a bookmark for saving your place in a book instead of folding the pages.  I have lots of bookmarks; please ask for one if you need one.
• Never use a writing utensil as a bookmark.
• Do not turn a book on its face; this can damage the binding. 
• On rainy days, be sure books are in plastic bags or in backpacks.
• Keep books away from small children and pets.
• Don't write in your library book.
• Do not pull labels and/or stickers off the books.
