What do you do with children's books dust jackets? They fall off of our books and I just end up taking them off. But now I have a stack of dust jackets. What do you do with them?
-
My daughter (2) removes them. I haven't decided if I should keep them or toss them!
-
I throw them away! I feel like we won't reach a point where we would be able to use them until they are much older, and by then the books they are on won't be ones they want to read anyway.
-
If the book jacket cover is identical to what's printed on the hard cover underneath I get rid of it. If it's different I keep it in a stack in LO's closet. I don't really know why!
-
I have a stack of dust jackets in my closet. I take them off immediately. I only keep the jackets of books that I feel like I'll want to pass down/on.
-
I keep them in a stack in a basket. I take them off immediately when we get new books.
-
They go straight to the trash.

I had a stack of them in DD's closet. My husband threw them away when we moved. That solved all of my waffling about what to do with them!

Toss!
-
Whether it's at home or in my classroom, I toss the book jackets. I can't stand them, and they get ruined easily.
-
I keep them on the books.
-
I've been throwing them out.
-
I take them off and save them. Maybe we'll put them back on when the kids are older?
-
toss!
-
I'm keeping them on the top shelf of LO's closet for now.
-
I'm also keeping them in the closet but this thread has made me wonder why - I'm going to go throw them out right now!
-
This whole thread gives me anxiety! Ha!
But dd is only 18 months and I keep all books except for board books out of reach currently. I feel like books aren't complete without dust jackets and hopefully that's something I can instill in her too.....

@Miss Ariel: that's how I feel, too but I HATE dust jackets with such a passion! If I want to resell the books someday, I would want them to have their jackets. But I hate keeping them. Ugh.
