How to Cover a Textbook

Below are some ideas on how to cover a textbook. We ask that you please don't use the stretchy covers, they actually damage the book binding.  Covering your book is the best way to keep your book protected and you may avoid getting your textbook mixed up with your classmates. I have links to a few different options, some basic others a little more elaborate.  Come on into the Library and show me your original home made designs!

Book Bingo

I've had a bit of a epiphany while filling out my Book Bingo Board this summer: it's very difficult to do!

I am changing the rules of the game: As long as you have a traditional bingo on your Book Bingo Board, you can pick from the Prize Box and have your name entered into the drawing for a gift card.

Did you fill the whole board? You get to enter the drawing FIVE times.

You can start bringing your Book Bingo forms back when you come to pick up textbooks.

Misplace your board? Click here to get a new one: http://olmlibrary.blogspot.com/2014/06/summer-book-bingo-board.html

See you next week!
