Dear Friends, I would appreciate receiving photographs and suggestions regarding the best ways to organize your collection of books covers. When I place an order to BTSB, I always request an extra copy of the book cover, so my collection is quite extensive after 20 years. ( This is prior to the time when every school had a color scanner.) This has proven to be a great idea because once the picture cover has worn out and faded on the buckram cover, I still have the paper cover that I can use to cover it again and make it look new. Currently, I have all of them in an extra large box with rubber bands around the ones I have used in groups for bulletin boards and hall displays to promote reading and literacy. I thought about trying to group them by genres (sports, mysteries, etc.) but I also do special author and subject area displays that transcend the traditional genres. These displays are ususally changed and updated on a monthly basis. Since I am in a middle school setting (grades 5-8), I have all sizes of covers ranging from the size of a small paperback up to the largest picture book (over 14"). Therefore, trying to put them in folders (even legal size) doesn't work. If you have a great way to organize your book covers, please grab your digital camera and send me photos directly to my home e-mail address listed below. Thanks, and I'm looking forward to seeing your great ideas.
