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.

Education reforms meet classroom realities
Educators will remember the 1980s as the decade of education reform. How effective those reforms were will be debated into the next century. The present decade will also see a plethora of education reforms attempted and discarded by state and provincial legislatures, by school districts, and by university faculties of education.
When in the spring of 1983 the education reform movement declared war on the “rising tide of mediocrity,” I wrote that “out of this bombardment [of recommendations from task forces] could come a higher standard of education so that 20 years down the road people might say it was education’s finest hour.”[1] I expressed my optimism in Churchillian phrases. Yet, as we have progressed down the road to reform, I see little evidence that we are going to accomplish much of what began with such promise.
