Store books properly: Keep books in a clean, dry, and well-ventilated area, away from direct sunlight, extreme temperatures, and moisture. Use bookshelves or storage boxes to protect them from dust and potential damage.
Handle books with clean hands: Wash and dry your hands before handling books to prevent transferring oils, dirt, and moisture onto the pages. Avoid eating or drinking near books to prevent accidental spills.
Use bookmarks instead of folding pages: Avoid folding the corners of pages to mark your place. Instead, use bookmarks or other gentle placeholders to prevent damage to the book's structure and pages.
Clean books carefully: Remove dust and debris from books using a soft, dry cloth or a brush with soft bristles. Avoid using water, cleaning solutions, or harsh chemicals directly on the pages unless recommended by a professional conservator.
Be cautious while opening and closing books: Open books gently and avoid laying them flat with the spine completely open, as this can weaken the binding. Use bookmarks or your hand to keep the book partially closed when not in use.
