DIY Library Kits

Clean the Sky - Positive Eco Trends & Breakthroughs

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.
Trend Themes
1. DIY Library Kits - Opportunity for disruptive innovation lies in creating customizable DIY library kits that incorporate digital lending platforms to track and manage borrowed books.
2. Book Borrowing Management - There is potential for disruption in the industry by developing innovative systems and software for managing book borrowing and tracking, providing seamless user experiences.
3. Personalized Library Services - Incorporating personalized library services, such as DIY library kits, can revolutionize the way people lending and borrow books, creating new opportunities for the industry.
Industry Implications

3. Digital Lending Platforms - Disruptive innovation can be found in the development of digital lending platforms that seamlessly integrate with DIY library kits, enabling efficient book borrowing and tracking.
