Equipment Use:
Equipment is to be operated by or under the
supervision of a librarian who works for a
SEMLS member institution. Teachers are welcome
to use the equipment but only in collaboration
with the school media specialist or public
librarian. The requestor is responsible for
all liability incurred.
About the Collection:
Additional dies will be added to the collection
per the recommendations of SEMLS member libraries.
Visit the AccuCut Web site at www.accucut.com

Please note: Ellison dies are compatible
with the AccuCut roller die cutting machine;
but, AccuCut dies are not compatible with
the Ellison Letterpress machine.
Ideas:
- Invite someone from each library department,
friends group and/or volunteer group to
a demonstration of ways to perk up library
displays, signage, certificates, etc. Reference,
Periodicals and Adult Services will find
uses for this equipment as well as Youth
Services departments.
- Create lively number sets, alphabet sets
and manual alphabet signs to incorporate
into age-appropriate story times.
- Use the large 7” alphabet dies to create
captivating banners and captions in your
lobby (especially during TV turn-off week
or the Summer Reading Program.) Take your
message out into the community by creating
attractive billboards or posters.
- Reward patrons and staff with custom-designed
bookmarks, booklets, magnets, awards, etc.
- Offer how-to sessions on scrapbook design,
puppet making, greeting card design, etc.
- Use the jumbo book, open book, and shelf
of books to highlight good reads.
- Share your ideas and creations with other
SEMLS members
