Caring for books at home

Prevention, not restoration.

Home conditions and book materials vary, so the guidance stays general and preventive.

  • What the guides doThey cover everyday prevention: light, damp, dust, support and handling. They are not conservation or restoration services.
  • When to call someoneFor mould, pests, or valuable, rare or seriously damaged books, seek appropriate professional help.
  • Never improviseNo untested chemicals, sticky tape, household glue or DIY restoration is recommended anywhere in the guides.
  • Shelving safetyTall or wall-mounted shelving must follow the manufacturer’s instructions and suitable fixing guidance. Seek competent help where required.
