"Bookworm" refers to both avid readers and actual insects that eat books! Real bookworms are larvae of various beetles and moths that feed on paper, glue, and book bindings. The term "bookworm" for passionate readers dates back to the 1590s. Modern libraries use climate control and pest management to protect collections from these destructive insects. Some ancient manuscripts show visible damage from centuries of bookworm tunneling!
