[ISLMA-Share] To Dust Jacket or Not?

[Email list for the Illinois School Library Media Association]

I vote for dust jackets.  When they start falling apart, I take them off the books and the books look new.

I vote for dust jackets, too! There is information about the book, author, illustrator.

Hi,
I am starting my 2nd year going between schools in our district. The one I've been at for many years (middle school) always uses dust jacket covers for hardcover books. The other (elementary school) just tosses the jacket and puts spine labels, special stickers, etc (with label covers over them) directly on the book cover.

Do you all still use dust jacket covers? I think they protect the books better, but I'm debating whether the time/cost is worth covering all these books, if I just replace the well-loved books as needed. I do buy Follett bound when available, but often I don't want to wait for popular books to come out in this format.

Thoughts?

Thanks!
Carrie
