Washi tape and library books

For some reason the lamination failed on all of my Percy Jackson books. I hate when books look so ratty. Do I trim the covers and re-laminate?







I have a bunch of washi tape, so I peeled off as much of the old lamination as I could and washi taped the bottom and top (folded it in half) and made a new spine label. I re-laminated the book covers.







All pretty again!

Why is Keyboarding important? 
Computer skills and typing skills have become increasingly important to many in their ever day lives, students included. If you know how to use the computer efficiently, it becomes easier to get things done quickly. This includes knowing how to use software programs and hardware devices. Both enable users to finish tasks on the computer, such as homework assignments, chapter quizzes, and essays. If you know how to use the computer you can also take advantage of using software programs and their hardware devices to have fun.
