Do NOT write in materials, fold the pages, or tear them
- Materials that show normal wear and tear due to age and use will not incur a replacement fee. However, please handle all items with care.
Do NOT affix sticky notes or similar items to materials
- Removing the affixed items may damage the materials.
- Please use non-adhesive items, such as loose paper or bookmarks.
Be careful NOT to stain the materials
