We do not cover our regular mass market or trade paperbacks, but we do use laminate on our softcover large print materials, since those see a lot of circulation and tend to break down faster (and are harder to replace). For this we use rolls of Demco CircExtender2X
Laminate, which can take a little practice to learn how to apply smoothly (a good job for crafty staff with good hand skills!), but it does work well.</div>

<div style="direction: ltr;">Hello Everyone,</div>
<div style="direction: ltr;"><br>
</div>
<div style="direction: ltr;">Our Co-Libri book covering system is currently out of commission. Given the rising costs of book covers, we're evaluating our options for covering our paperbacks.</div>
<div style="direction: ltr;"><br>
</div>
<div style="direction: ltr;">We're interested in learning about alternative book covering methods you might use. We're also open to discussing whether covering paperbacks is necessary at all.</div>
<div style="direction: ltr;"><br>
</div>
<div style="direction: ltr;">We would appreciate your insights, both positive and negative, as they will help us make an informed decision.</div>
<div style="direction: ltr;"><br>
</div>
<div style="direction: ltr;">Thank you,</div>
<div style="direction: ltr;">Yvonne</div>
