.htaccess tweak needed

Question

I have the following rewrite rule in my .htaccess file:

RewriteRule ^books$ /my/directory/pro/books [NC,L]

It works fine as long as the user does not add a trailing slash, e.g.

mysite.com/books // works mysite.com/books/ // doesn't work

How can it be modified to work with or without the trailing slash?

Note that mysite.com/books// is a valid url for the same resource. — Captain Giraffe
