UNCG’s Jackson Library Preservation Services Staff are pleased to conduct a workshop entitled “Book Repair on a Budget” during the January 31st/February 1st PLC session. Media Specialists will rotate between two 45 minute sessions on common book repairs. One session will cover paper mending and interior hinge repairs and the other will address spine and cover repairs. Please bring two books from your collection in need of treatment with you to the training, one for each workshop session. We will focus on treatments that are relatively quick and easy to perform and that require materials you have on hand or can acquire inexpensively. A list of resources, links to online videos, and a few samples of some materials we use in the sessions will be provided for you to take back to your school media centers. We hope you will join us!
