I have not tried this yet. Please tell me if this works

I believe that pandas may not be the answer. Perhaps you could use the native csv module?

You could use this code:

import csv

with open('databooks.csv', 'r', newline='') as data:
    csvreader = csv.reader(data) # Creates an iterator that returns rows as lists
    # If your CSV has a header, you can skip it or store it:
    header = next(csvreader)
    
    for row in csvreader:
        print(row) # Each row is a list of strings
