Five Reasons Every School Library Should Have a Fastback Binding Machine
Have you heard of Powis Parker Fastback? If you are a school librarian, teacher, administrator, media center specialist or school district purchasing agent you might really want to check it out. The Fastback binding system provides a revolutionary new way to bind documents, books, reports, presentations and even yearbooks. In fact, a Fastback machine can be used in so many different ways and can save most schools so much money that no school library should be without one. This article will identify five reasons that your school library should consider owning a Fastback Binding System.
1.Book Repair: The Parker Fastback 15xs binding machine is a great option for schools that are looking to repair damaged soft cover and hard cover books. You can use a Fastback system to add a new wrap around printed cover to a soft cover book. You can also rebind the contents of a hard cover book and place them in a new hard case or glue them in the old hard cover. Many school libraries also use their Fastback Binding machine to strengthen the bind on their trade paperback books. By running every paperback through a binding cycle before it is placed on the shelf, you can in many cases double the shelf life of these books. School libraries spend a huge amount of money every year replacing paperback books that are worn out and have pages coming out. The fastback binding system can help you save on some of those costs.

Community Colleges Can Cut the Cost of a Degree
Every week there are articles about the high cost of a degree. Students (or their parents or their companies) are spending thousands of dollars each year on education.
Online degrees, especially those designed for working professionals, average $1200/class for undergraduate classes and about $1800/class for graduate classes. Coming into an online bachelor degree with no credits means the degree can cost close to $50000. Coming into an online master degree and needing foundation classes can cost close to $30000.
Using the community college system can cut those tuition costs down. Almost every state has a college system and offer classes from a low of under $50/class (California is an example) to about $300/class. Classes are offered in General Education, Lower Division courses for the major and Electives.

Time never seems to be on your side! You can barely make time to do all the extras after talking care of the kids. You don’t know where the time goes and now you have to entertain the idea of returning to school or completing your college degree.
Finances are an issue now adding a tuition check to each month’s budget does not seem like an option. What do you do? The US Census Bureau reports that about 20% of American families are single-parent households, and in most case the breadwinner is a mother. In addition 95% of the single parents make less than $75,000 a year in income. So, for many going back to school without some form of financial aid is not an option.
