Dust jacket covers on all new books but I would not go through your entire collection and put covers on all of them.

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.
