Use a Bookmark, NOT a Pencil
Bookmarks are made out of thin paper. If you use a pencil or something big to keep your place, you're actually hurting the book! Putting a pencil in the book bends the pages up and damages the spine. The library has free bookmarks and you can always buy or make your own.

Labels are Important, Don't Rip Them Off!
Labels are Important, Don't Rip Them Off!
Library books have a spine label, school barcode, and endpaper stamps with the school name. If you tear off labels, it can be hard to tell if a book belongs to the library. If you tear off a lot of labels, you may get a small fine.
