Ellison and Accu-Cut Die Cuts

Ellison and Accu-Cut dies are located in the Kidz Korner workroom and are available for use by the public. However, the library does not provide the construction paper. Customers must use and bring their own paper. The Friends of the Library donate funds to purchase all dies. Click the link below for a list of available die cuts at the Seymour Library.
