Binding quality on books is inconsistent and with day-to-day handling and repeated circulation books can sustain significant damage. Don’t replace these volumes, fix them. In this all-day workshop, attendees will learn about different aspects of circulating collections book repair for school, public, and academic library staff. Everyone will participate in the hands-on program learning several different types of treatments. We will cover page mending, tip-ins, hinge tightening, and spine repairs. We will also go over the correct tools, adhesives, and other materials to use. No prior experience is needed, and all materials will be supplied.
