DO Not Mark on Library Materials

We understand the temptation to mark books in order to aid your studying or research but keep in mind what might help you will most certainly make it more difficult for someone else to use the book. Besides, it is simply bad for the books. Readers must not mark or in any way damage books belonging to the library. In addition, marking the books constitute as vandalism because books are library property.

So please do not mark in any library materials so that we can all use the materials as they were intended. Thank you for your cooperation.
