It’s because they have been in unknown places…because they have been through many hands…because they will slide across our kitchen table…because we will all cuddle up in bed together with them, I wipe down all of our library books before we read them.
Do you have you a behavior(s) that may seem odd to others, but makes perfect sense to you?
What in the world? How have I had FOUR children and it NEVER occured to me to do this? We never talked about such a thing at any baby group! This is a stupendous idea and one I will implement any time we get something from the library from now on! Makes sense to me!

I’m with Mimi, only I have 9 kids and never thought to do it!
So glad you posted this!
I usually just make the library books dirty!
But, yes, I have plenty of behaviors that make sense only to me.
That is a good idea!

Oh dear! I thought I was the only the one to do this! I just have to because of the same reasons!
You just gave me a whole new outlook on library books! If I do this, my husband will think I’ve gone off the deep end. But it makes total sense!!!
My sister does because she gets board books for Murphy man and he is in the “put everything in your mouth” stage. I never thought to do that even after hearing her say she does it for him. That is a very good idea. It might just be one of our saving graces come the winter flu months. Thanks Jennifer!
That is one thing I have not thought of, although a librarian friend did share with me how dirty library books can be. I just might do this next time we bring home a big stack of books from the library.
We have cleaned coins before using them to count with.
I have never thought about this! THANKS for adding to my already OCD of going to the library.
I really like your blog and am just hoping around.

I would have never thought of cleaning library books when brining them into the house. Thanks for giving us all this idea! And BTW, I noticed that you were using a Basic H Shaklee spray!!!
