[ISLMA-Share] Repairing books

[Email list for the Illinois School Library Media Association]

If you have a Kapco representative come and give a seminar on repairing
books, she'll give you a discount code to use when you order their products
directly from them. If you don't have several people that need training,
you could offer to host a training and invite people from other districts
to fill up the spots. She usually has a give away and you get to repair
several books using her supplies.
