Book jackets and labels

As well as recommending the best and most engaging books for your pupils, we can make them
shelf-ready before sending them out to you.

After adding your books to your basket online, choose the jackets and/or labels you'd like – choose from book jackets, book band labels, non-fiction labels and more.

Not sure what you need? Our expert librarians and children's book specialists are happy to advise on labelling books for your library or reading space, to help you make an informed decision which reflects the needs of both staff and pupils. 

Book jackets

Covering your books can protect them from everyday wear and tear, prolonging their shelf-life. We apply clear plastic jackets to paperbacks and a clear plastic sleeve to hardbacks with a dust jacket, for a cost of 35p per jacket.

Labels

Labelling your school library stock is key to ensuring books can be reshelved efficiently, and makes it easier to index, lend and track books according to your library management system if you have one. 

We recommend the following to cover the vast majority of schools' requirements:

• Fiction spine labels, to sequence authors alphabetically and aid searching for titles
• Accelerated Reader labels
• Non-fiction: either coloured labels or Dewey referencing to denote categories and to group books within your library space

Each label added to a book costs 10p.
