Support with producing newsletters
Creating a newsletter can be a really useful way of keeping members of your group regularly updated on important local issues, upcoming events and the work of your group. But it does involve a bit of forward planning and will take a bit of time.
Our print room has everything you need to produce your neighbourhood newsletter.
You can use our copyprinters to print long runs in black, red, green or maroon ink on coloured paper at very low cost. We also have a booklet maker that will collate, fold and staple your newsletters for you.
If you would prefer a full colour newsletter, you could use our inkjet printer (full colour at cheap prices, ideal for newsletters) or our laser printer for a very high quality finish.
More information about printing newsletters at the Resource Centre.
These books are available at the Resource Centre, to borrow or to use in the Centre.
