“preservation oriented” collection maintenance. Attendees will learn about
the structure of a book, what books should be sent to the bindery and what
books can be repaired at the library.
Each attendee will receive a supply kit and a list of supplies to take back to the library.
Attendance limit: 20 per session.
Cost: $60 / kit plus attendance fee. |
