Protect Our Books!

Help me give my students supplies to cover our new K-2 library books.

My Project

After attending a Demco Book Doctor workshop, I learned many great ways to protect our library books. As I purchase new books for our K-2 library, I am in need of some basic supplies to cover the book jackets of our hard cover picture books.

This will help our books to last longer and also allow me to wipe the books down when needed.

This in turn helps my students have more opportunities to check out their favorite titles. The fiber tape is used to attach the cover to the book without peeling off. The hinge tape is used for repairing books when the spine rips. Often times, our most favorite books need repair due to their high check-outs. These supplies will help my students enjoy the books for a longer time. Thank you for helping to make our library the best it can be!

This project will directly impact historically underfunded classrooms.
