Thanks for the prompt response and great blog!

We’re not making a new copy of it, just making it available to the public like we already do in the library. Also, the VT FAQ reports that many families, after reading the StoryWalk book, go buy their own copy to read at home. What, library use increasing book sales? According to ebook publishers, that never happens.

Since your FOL purchased the books, there’s no copyright issue, correct?

I wasn’t involved in that part, and now that I think about it, we must have purchased two copies to get both sides of the page. Hmm. To laminate them, the Childrens Librarian just went to Staples and they did it – which I think cost about $30.

One practical (and maybe ignorant) question: Do you cut up an ordinary picture book to get the laminated pages? And if so, is that difficult?
