Have you ever wondered what makes librarians (and book lovers) cringe? Maybe cry a little? Here’s a few of our top cringe-worthy horrors to never, ever do:
Don’t make notes in, highlight, or remove pages from books that aren’t yours. Don’t leave books open and face down or “dog ear” the pages – use a bookmark people! Don’t use books as doorstops. Don’t drop books in the bathtub/river and assume that they will dry and we won’t notice. Don’t use books as coasters or place-mats. Don’t use books behind your tires if you get stuck in the snow, or to scrape your windshield. Don’t stack books and use them as a stool, or use them for killing flies or spiders (however tempting this may be). Wow, there’s more than we thought.
