Book Cart Covers

[lawrencec]

Hi, everyone!

I remember back when I was first doing the research into bookmobiles to get an idea of what we wanted for ours, I remember seeing some people having covers to go overtop book carts to help protect the books from the weather. 

Could anyone point me in a direction on where to find some? I truthfully had not even thought about them until our recent rainy weather!

Our courier made some for us! As you can see, they are really simple – waterproof fabric and connectors.

We ordered some from a company called Covers and All. The first one we ordered was clear plastic. It was nice but the plastic was so thick that it couldn't be easily folded or handled at all. Then we ordered some that were more pliable and can be folded but also protect the items in the rain. We have been using them for over two years and they are still in great shape.

Here are the details of what I ordered:

Custom CoversSKU: CustomCover0039 Custom Size 1. Height 34" 2. Width 34.5" 3. Depth 15" Fabric Type Cover Max Color Gray Extra Addon

Quantity: 4 $211.24

I would say we have been happy with them. We used to use grill covers but they were too big for the carts and got tangled in the wheels. It's nice that these can be custom made for your size cart.

We ordered them from our cart vendor, Acore Shelving.

Chiming in to say Acore book truck covers are awesome! Their new ones are super lightweight and are specifically designed to work with their carts.

 

Be well,
