Hi, Welcome to the Forum. I suggest that you should approach the problem a little more directly, by saying to him 'Please don't write in the books'. Then you can erase what he wrote, using appropriate care.

Hi,

If you are talking about punishment, I assume you are dealing with children. You might say 'I told you not to write in the book. Now please erase everything you did'.

Or you might say 'If you write in books again, I will not allow you to use the library'.

Best wishes, Clive
