I was going to say don't use books as a punishment after reading the title but I think what you are doing is fine. I would also get their help to repair some of the books. If they are repairable??

Maybe get them to help you fix them?
I think it's important for children to have books at an arms reach. We put all our special books up on the shelf but they also have ones they can reach too.
You are not mean at all cause its heart reading when they ruin something :-(

DS2 did this to a few of his pop-up books.
I tried the "help mummy fix the book thing". Hmmm... didn't work! He then proceeded to tear pages out of other books and brought them up to me and said, "oh no mummy, get the tape". Insanely cute but GRRRRRR!
He has 3 torn (much loved) books that live on top of the fridge now. He can see them and he wants them but he can't have them because he "tored them". Am I mean? Probably, but he hasn't torn once since the last one went up there and that was at least a couple of months ago.
