Ever wanted to know more about repairing your perhaps falling-apart-ish books instead of buying a new copy? We're offering a new class to get you started on the right path to book repairedness.
Join us on Tuesday, June 9th from 10:00am - 12:00pm in Meeting Room B, for our new Basic Book Repair Class (click HERE for details & registration).
Librarian Pam O'Hara will show you some simple techniques for repairing your own books. She will discuss tightening hinges when text blocks are pulling away from the cover, replacing torn endsheets, mending paper and tipping pages into bound volumes.
She will demonstrate techniques and give you a chance to try some hands-on repair. The class will provide helpful handouts and a listing of where to purchase supplies for book repair. Our only caveat is that this is not a class for repairing rare or archival books.
We look forward to seeing some of you do-it-yourself bibliophiles there!
