It worked relatively well until one day it just very suddenly... didn't. Finding information on how to get it operational again was difficult (though, again, this was ~5yrs ago) and only bought us another year of so-so performance before it just... broke again, in a way no one seems able to figure out, no matter how many times we take it apart and put it back together. Also: the circle cutter that came with it was not great -- sort of a pain to use *and* the circles it cut were ever-so-slightly too big for the actual button maker, meaning we often ended up having to trim them by hand (which, as I'm sure you can imagine, was sort of annoyingly time-consuming). <div><br></div><div>Last year we borrowed an ABM maker from another department in our building and it works so, so much better. They also had an ABM graphic punch machine that made it significantly easier and faster to cut and prep the images. (Honestly, I could have cried over how much simpler it was than the previous cutter.) If you are able to get an American Button Machine (and also one of their graphic punches), I'd absolutely recommend going for it.</div><div><br></div><div><p style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:Calibri,Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:12pt;margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px"><span style="font-family:Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif">Jessica Chadwick</span></p><p style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:Calibri,Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:12pt;margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px"><span style="font-size:10pt">she/her/hers</span></p><p style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:Calibri,Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:12pt;margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px"><span style="font-size:10pt">Instructional & Informational Specialist </span></p><p style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:Calibri,Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:12pt;margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px"><span style="font-size:10pt">Evanston Township HS </span><span style="font-size:10pt">East Library S</span><span style="font-size:10pt">taff</span></p><p style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:Calibri,Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:12pt;margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px"><span style="font-size:10pt">Website 1: </span><span style="font-size:10pt"><a href="https://sites.google.com/eths202.org/remote-library-resources/home" title="https://sites.google.com/eths202.org/remote-library-resources/home" target="_blank">ETHS Library Resources Homepage</a></span><span style="font-size:10pt"> / Twitter: </span><span style="font-size:10pt"><a href="https://twitter.com/ETHSLibraries" title="https://twitter.com/ETHSLibraries" target="_blank">@ETHSLibraries</a></span></p><p style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:Calibri,Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:12pt;margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px"><span style="font-size:10pt">Website 2: </span><span style="font-size:10pt"><a href="https://sites.google.com/eths202.org/2023-lincoln-award-eths/home" target="_blank">2023 Lincoln Book Award Program @ETHS</a></span></p><p style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:Calibri,Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:12pt;margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px"><span style="font-size:10pt"><b>Currently Reading... </b></span></p><p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px"><i style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:Calibri,Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:13.3333px">Firekeeper's Daughter</i><span style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:Calibri,Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:13.3333px"> by Angeline Boulley</span><span style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:Calibri,Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:10pt"><i><br></i></span></p><p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px"><span style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:Calibri,Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:10pt"><i>Crying in the Bathroom: A Memoir</i> by </span><font color="#000000" face="Calibri, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif"><span style="font-size:13.3333px">Erika L.
