Youth Services: AccuCuts
Procedure
What Are AccuCuts?
RCLS has a collection of over 500 AccuCut dies available to loan (for library staff only). Many different shapes, numbers, and letters can be used for scrapbooking, decorating, card making, etc.
The loan period will remain the same (3 days) delivery day, a full day to use them, and return the next day.
Dies are handled the same as books.
1. all dies must be checked in when received
2. and then checked out to you
3. checked in when finished
4. return to RCLS If there are any other holds, the die(s) can be sent to the requesting library. They must be in a padded envelope or boxed.
Boxed sets (alphabets) have the barcode on the case only.
