Event Description
This workshop is designed to help librarians and library media specialists make simple repairs to their general, circulating collections. It is specifically designed for use in schools, and small public and small academic libraries. The workshop teaches methods for repairing books with techniques that are building blocks toward “archival quality” or “preservation oriented” collection maintenance.
Attendees will learn about the structure of a book, what books can be
repaired at the library, boxed, or replaced.
Techniques taught:
Presenter: Miriam B. Kahn, founder of MBK Consulting, provides education and consulting for libraries, archives, corporations, and cultural institutions, and individuals on topics ranging from genealogy and local history to bookbinding and preservation.
