One of the most useful tools your school can
have on hand is a thermal binding machine. These are the machines that
are used to make hardcover books, and they are both inexpensive and fun
and easy to use. Here are just a few of the reasons every school should
have one.
In The Library:
You may be surprised to hear this, but sometimes books that are checked
out of the school library aren't treated with the utmost care by
students. Feel free to go ahead and take some time to process that
information, as we know it is quite shocking indeed. All kidding aside,
if you have any doubts as to the usefulness of a thermal binding machine
to repair hard cover and softcover library books, simply go and ask
your poor frazzled librarian if she has any scotch tape left.
Regardless, having the ability to repair books is a great way to save
your school a lot of money, and to keep those books in circulation
longer than they otherwise might. A thermal binding machine can also be
used to create books out of a series of reports, and to have them all in
one place for the use of your students. Any of your teachers, for
instance, can create their own reference books for use by students in
their reports or for extra credit work.
In the Classroom:
Having a hardcover binding system on hand is also a great way for your
students to "get published" for the first time. Whether they are
creating a book of works from a poetry class, a photography seminar, or
even history reports, the feeling of permanence created by the ability
to see their work in hardcover form is priceless. You can create books
that represent the work of your class over the course of the semester or
over the whole year, and the process of writing, creating the artwork,
printing and binding is more fun that you can imagine, and gives your
students something they can take home, show off, and keep on the shelf
or coffee table for the rest of their lives.
You can even create books with blank pages to hand out to your writing
students as journals for science projects, field studies, or writing
journals, or better yet, let the students create and personalize them
themselves.
In The Publishing Department:
Sadly, the cost of sending out yearbooks to be printed and bound has
priced a lot of the smaller schools out of the process entirely. That
need not be the case if you have your own binding system. The sav...
