Info on Book repair that may be of use to many, from MJoseph of child_lit, forwarded with permission. For folks in the Northeast wanting to learn simple, basic repairs: The instructor at the Basic Book Repair workshop yesterday told me that there's only 3 people signed up so far for the Children's Book repair workshop on Nov. 9 at NEDCC in Andover. If you know of anyone who might be interested in taking this workshop, please pass along the info about the class. Here's a link to the workshop's description: http://www.nedcc.org/nedccwork/nedccdesc.htm#6 You don't have to have done the Basic Book Repair workshop, and this is going to include some stuff that is part of the Intermediate Book Repair workshop. So, if you're going to do just one class, I think this would be the one. I think there's a lot of school and public libraries out there that would benefit from sending someone to this workshop. Anyone working with a circulating children's book collection would benefit from this workshop. The instructor is very skilled and a great teacher, and you are sent home not only having done basic repairs but with a treasure trove of information about materials, more in-depth repair information, and broader conservation and preservation matters. (If there's $100 in the budget, I'd say it's better spent on this first rather than materials.) If you know of librarians, library aides, library or school volunteers who'd be interested, please pass this along. The registration deadline is Nov. 1. And again, it's open to anyone. You don't have to be associated with an institution. -end of forwarded message_ GraceAnne A.
