Hey dear friends! It is good to meet again today! I have a great to share with all of you. Do you want to know what the topic is? Ok ok, I will tell you, we are going to talk on all about books. So do you like to read fiction books or non – fiction books. I like to read both of them. Let me give you an example of fiction books;

Thea Stilton and the tropical treasure,

Bad kitty for the president

"Did you Know Why?" is an example of a non-fiction book. Fiction books fill our find with lots of imagination and thoughts while non-fiction books are filled with facts. 

Many people have home libraries. Having them is a prized possession. This is how a home library looks like -

So let me tell you how we can set a home library

• Heavy and less frequently used books to be kept at the bottom shelf.
• Ensure to keep the books away from direct sunlight.
• We may set the books in alphabetical order according to the name of the author or the title of the book.

That’s it you have your library

But we need to maintain our books also

So should I tell you how to maintain a book?

Ok ok wait I will tell you

• We should wipe the books with a soft cotton cloth to keep them dust-free
• We should use a protective cover while traveling

Now is the time to tell you how to handle the books

• Ensure that your hands are clean while turning the pages of the book
• Abstain from eating or drinking while reading a book as it might stain the pages.

Do not make ‘Dog-ear’* folds as they damage the page. We should use bookmarks instead.

• We should take care of the spine of the book while pulling or holding the book

• Never scribble in the book

That’s all, at last, you have occasionally become a bibliophile*

*Bibliophile is a person who reads or collects books.

*Dog-ear fold is a paper folded down from the corner
