[LM_NET] TARGET: Book Covering Laminate Query

["Evie W. Reakes" <ewreakes@QOPACADEMY.ORG>]

Greetings LM_NETTERS:

After searching the archives with little success, I come seeking your
input regarding book covering laminate preferences. I am in a small
parochial school library with a matching small budget. We are
investigating laminate options for covering paperback books.   My
question is:

1) What laminate product do you recommend for covering paperback books,
i.e. easy readers, series, fiction books?  The LM_NET archives indicated
a preference for Kapco products however I am searching for
cost-effective laminate on rolls rather than individual book covers.
Some folks had mentioned clear contact paper (clear laminate) bought at
Home Depot or Wal-Mart. I'm not sure that purchasing individual rolls of
contact paper is cost-effective. I am curious to see if anyone is using
such products as Demco or Gaylord book covering laminates that come on
rolls, etc...  

Any thoughts or comments on this topic are welcome. I look forward to
your responses. I will post a HIT.

Thanks,

evie reakes
