The invention relates to a method and device for keeping the cover of a book open, particularly in a library's automatic book check-in device. In the device, there are guides, particularly walls 3, 4 at the side of a conveyor belt 2. The cover of the book is fed between the guides. Information is read from the inside of the cover, for example, using a bar-code reader, through an opening 7 in the wall 4. A bend or guide 10 may be provided to close the cover. |
