[CASL-L] Question about Library Binding for books

[Laura Hedenberg]

I buy hardcover books as much as possible, especially for picture books.  If it’s a book I know will get a lot of checkouts, I’ll buy library binding or Foley’s binding.  I do this for popular series and graphic novels, like Dog Man, Babysitters, etc.  I but paperback for larger series, like Puppy Place.  The low cost of replacement is a factor for those.
