SUMMARY:Basic Book Repair: Tools & Techniques
DESCRIPTION:Note:  This is an IN-PERSON workshop at Eastern CT State 
 University Library\n\nWould you like to save money by getting more uses per 
 book? Would you like to keep that out-of-print book in circulation to meet 
 your library patron's needs? Would you like to quickly repair simple 
 problems rather than purchasing a replacement? Many repairs that can extend 
 the life of your library collection are fast and simple\, and can be done 
 with easy-to-obtain\, inexpensive materials. This hands-on workshop is 
 appropriate for a library staff member or volunteer who will be doing book 
 repair. Emphasis will be on simple repairs for the everyday public or 
 school library collection\, rather than on archival or long-term 
 preservation techniques.\n\nTopics covered will include:\n\n\n	Basic book 
 handling and cleaning\, and some damage prevention measures\n	Materials 
 needed for basic book repair and where to get them\n	How to repair a torn 
 page & how to reinsert a loose page or group of pages\n	How to pamphlet 
 bind and “cut” pages open\n	How to reattach a paperback cover and 
 tighten hinges on a hardcover\n	Options to repair a worn spine or frayed 
 corners\n	Introduction to some simple hardcover spine problems\n	When to 
 cover\, re-sew\, encase\, or rebind books\n	Resources for more information 
 on book repair.\n\n\nSupplies needed for the hands-on portion of the 
 workshop will be provided\; you may choose to bring your own book repair 
 tools to work with\, such as scissors\, box cutter or Xacto knife\, bone 
 folder\, and/or glue brush.\n\n**OPTIONAL: BRING A DAMAGED BOOK TO SHARE 
 AND REPAIR – Some techniques will be tried “hands-on” with provided 
 materials\; there will also be some time to review and repair damaged items 
 brought to the workshop by participants.**\n\n\nAlso see Advanced Book 
 Repair: Hardcover Techniques taking place on Friday\, August 7 from 10 to 1
