HANDLING
LIBRARY MATERIAL
Stationery and library material make an unhappy marriage
A fold of paper or cotton tape can replace most stationery
tape oozes its adhesive and discolours paper
permanently
pins and paper clips rust and
damage paper
rubberbands at work
degraded rubberbands can stain
library material permanently
string cuts
library material should not be held
while holding a writing implement
