[SLI-public] Plastic Free Question

[Jill Davis]

Hi all
I can speak to that.  We tried not putting covers on books with not the
greatest results.  We found the Colibri System that uses ECO friendly
covers (made with sugar cane I think).  You have to invest in the
equipment, but it has been well worth it for us.  We use the leftover craps
in some of our craft projects.

Be sure to tell them you heard about it from Hendrick Hudson Free Library.
Email or call if you have more questions,


Jill
