This workshop is designed to demonstrate quick and easy techniques for extending shelf life on general circulating materials. Prevention is the key, but we will be addressing specific, common repairs: re-inserting loose pages, broken spines, torn header caps, ripped and torn pages. The workshop will be hands-on, and is appropriate for library staff or volunteers that want to extend the life of their collections.
Each participant is asked to bring:
– one or two paperback books, preferably new or new-like, to demonstrate covering techniques ;
– a hardbound book with a book jacket to demonstrate application of book jacket covers ;
– a stapled book or magazine ;
– one hardbound book that needs repair ;
– a “naked” hardbound book; i.e., a hardbound book that does NOT have a book jacket cover ;
– a pair of scissors.
