I'm very strict with books. We treat books gently just like each other. They are for reading with your hands and then putting away nicely. My book nook is in plain sight most of the time and I watch the kids carefully. Anyone mistreating books is not allowed in the book nook for the rest of that day.

I do have any books precious to me up high where they can't reach but I've never really had a problem and they learn the rules quickly since its the same ones for people. lol I've had maybe 4 or 5 books ripped in the past several years and most were one child who is a wrecker by nature. lol
