Book Spine Bookmarks - Help!
by Lorry Traver 29 Oct '24

29 Oct '24

Hi library world, I saw a craft I wanted to try, and scheduled it thinking it would be a breeze. Now, three book spines later, I still have not been able to make this craft work. I was attempting to make a cool bookmark from a book spine. Have any of you crafty librarians out there tried this craft? Do you have any tips or tricks you can share with me to make it work? OR, on the other hand, do you have anything similar - a book inspired bookmark of sorts - that may be a simpler craft that I could easily create instead? This craft isn't for a couple months, so I still have time to freak out...I mean, plan and prepare...haha. But, any help you can offer is greatly appreciated! Thank you! -- *"I think books are like people, in the sense that they'll turn up in your life when you most need them." - Emma Thompson* *Lorry Traver (She/Her)* Public Services Librarian Brandon Township Library 248-627-1460

At the height of the COVID-19 pandemic, it became crucial for OCLC to adapt and find innovative ways to continue serving libraries while ensuring public safety. CapiraCurbside was designed in 2020 to meet this urgent need, providing a convenient and contactless solution for libraries to continue lending their materials to patrons. As the world has slowly emerged from the pandemic, we’ve observed a significant shift in library preferences and behaviors. With the availability of in-person services again, the demand for CapiraCurbside has considerably declined. After careful consideration and analysis, we have made the decision to discontinue CapriaCurbside on March 31 , 2025. We understand that this may cause a disruption in your workflow, which is why we want to give you ample time to evaluate your processes and make an informed decision on next steps. Our team is committed to making this transition as smooth as possible for you. If you have any questions, you can reach us at [ mailto:support@oclc.org | support(a)oclc.org ] .
