Hit: Laminating Book Covers

[Charlene Schwartz <schk@RICHLAND.K12.WI.US>]

Hello Library Lovers!

My goodness did this hit get a lot of responses. Since so many of the
responses were the same, I will make a short list of them.

32 People said they didn't have a problem with laminating. Here are
some things they said.

- Brighter covers
- Wear well
- Easy and Fast
- Attach to book and can be removed if needed
- Cold laminator work wonderful but expensive film
- Cheaper?
- Many people just said that they have done it for years and don't have
a problem

31 people said they didn't like laminating. Here are some things they
said.

- Cost may be same or more
- Don't wear well since edges catch
- Lamination peels after use
- Wrinkles
- If tear in the plastic you can't remove it without tearing jacket
- If tear in the plastic you can't remove it without making jacket
"fuzzy" and look old

That's most of the consensus. I don't know what I'm going to do. Maybe
we'll just try a few and see how it goes and how expensive it would be.

Thanks for the advice!
