Doctor Book Care visited Fisher Mitchell.

She told us how to treat our books.

I am Doctor Book Care and I am here to fix books.

 

She is holding up a book that has the Squeezing Disease. She is hugging the book. That is how it gets the disease.

This book is in two pieces. The spine broke and the book fell apart. It was just an old loved book.

She is listening to the kids questions.

The book doctor is looking for clues about the disease.

She is looking closer for clues. sometimes children forget and get food on books.

The book Doctor is looking for the signs on her chart of diseases.

She couldn't fix the book. It died. She is putting one of the books in the Rest In Peace bin.

RIP

Dr. Book Care is showing a book with another disease.

It has the pointer disease.

When you use your pointer finger to get a book, it make the spine tear.

This is how a book gets the mashing disease. It breaks the edge of the book and the spine. It happens when you try to put a book on the shelf that is too big for the shelf.

This book is really not well.

The pages fall out of the binding. the glue doesn't stick anymore.

The book also has puppy chew disease.

Doctor Book Care can't save the book.

She put it in RIP.

Doctor book Care is getting out another book.

This book's pages are falling out because it has the Shaken Book Disease.

This is how a book gets the Shaken Book Disease.

This book can be saved.

It just needs special library glue.

Doctor Book Care is gluing it.

Then she put elastics around it to make sure it sticks in place.

When She takes the rubber bands off the book. It will be ready to be read and loved again.

Thank you Doctor Book Care for teaching us about taking care of books.
