Paperback Book Covers

I am wondering for those of you that place a cover on your paperback books where do you get your covers and how time consuming it is?

Thanks,

Vox and Wonderbooks Chargers

We are considering starting to circulate the charging cords with our Vox and Wonderbooks collection, and I wanted to see how other libraries circulate these cords.  Are they catalogued and checked out separately along with the talking books, or they just given to the patron at checkout?  Thanks!
