The Lamination Station
Yes, we have a laminator. Staff, please put your project next to the laminator and complete the printed form next to the laminator.
Important: We have a volunteer parent who does our lamination jobs for the school. When a project is put on the table in the library, the librarian communicates with the volunteer parent. If the volunteer parent cannot laminate before Wednesday, the librarian will laminate the project on Wednesday, and the library aide will deliver the project to the classroom. Library aides and the librarian do not cut out projects that are laminated.
3D Printing
Yes, we have a 3D printer in the library. Want to print something? Talk to the librarian.
