By coincidence I found this mid 90s boarding school book series aimed at girls. There are 10 books. In this 5th book (Die Entführung) there's a girl sitting in bibs on the cover. Obviously Carmen from Puerto Rico. Her parents are divorced and she wants to unite them by writing a fake letter about a kidnapping. But things go wrong.
I don't own any of the books. So I can't say if there are mentions of bibs. Probably not. In book 6 there's a girl who wants to be a boy (not in bibs at least not on the cover). I like plots about boarding schools (like "Schloss Einstein") but I can't even say if it's a school for girls only. At least there are plots with boys (Spanish exchange student, young boy, not in bibs). Different authors.
Schneider books are thin. Fonts are quite large and usually there are illustrations. (Not sure about these late ones). Modern books are usually much thicker. Schneider books were the most famous books up to the 80s in Germany.
One of the famoust book series for boys was the Schreckenstein book series about a boys boarding school near one for girls. Made into a move.
