DIY Library Kits

This Cute Set Turns Bookworms into Librarians

— August 17, 2010 — Art & Design
The DIY library kit is perfect if you are someone who lends books to friends and family. I need one of these kits because I always lend my books out to my friends and nine months later, they still haven't been returned. With this kit, you can stamp the "due date" of when you want your books back, and tell your friend if they don't return the book by this date, there will be a fee to pay.

The DIY library kit includes 20 checkout cards, a date stamper, 20 self-adhesive pockets, an inkpad and a pencil. Refills are also available.
