36Care 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.
