Library Book anyone??

I purchased this book from the library for 1 dollar

To make the book look nicer, I took off the plastic dust cover

This one came off without leaving glue or tearing- Nice!

The only evidence left that it was a library book is in the back, with a stamp and a barcode.

Here is the "finished" book. Looks pretty nice

Here is the book, and the plastic cover- which I throw away

Another library book purchased for a buck. Love the Salt Lake County Library System!

Took the plastic cover off this one and it ripped- this is fairly typical.

So I take my handy paper trimmer and cut off the inside flap "info"

I use double sided sticky tape and paste the "info" bar (minus the plastic obviously) back over the tear.

Finished books!

I have bought tons of library books and re-worked them this way. It is AWESOME buying these originally $15.00 books for a buck each. Can't wait to start story times once my daughter is old enough to stop tearing and eating books.
