This 3-hour workshop is designed to demonstrate quick and easy techniques for extending shelf life on general circulating materials. Prevention is the key, but we will address specific, common repairs: re-inserting loose pages, broken spines, torn header caps, ripped and torn pages. This event is sponsored by the WLA Technical Services Section (TSS) and Support Staff & Circulation Service Section (SSCS).  
 
Each participant is asked to bring:
  • One paperback book, preferably new or new-like to demonstrate covering techniques;
  • A hardbound book with a book jacket to demonstrate application of book jacket covers;
  • A stapled book or magazine;
  • One hardbound book that needs repair and a "naked" hardbound book, i.e., a hardbound book that does NOT have a book jacket; and
  • A hardbound book with a book jacket.
Each participant will be provided with a sample pack of materials.
