MISCELLANEOUS TIPS
=09
        I just took a class on book repair at Kent.   One thing I do at school,
4-8, is have a "Book Doctor" box, decorated and with a sign, located
near the check out desk.  Students are asked to put any materials they
find damaged on the shelf in the box.  We discuss what types of damage
they might be looking for, i.e. torn pages, torn dust jacket, no call
number sticker, etc.  It helps a lot, the books are collected in one
spot, and keeps me motivated to keep the box empty (by doing repairs on
a regular basis). If the box were in the back room, I would never get
around to repairing them.  (Doris J. Renfro)

        I keep some window cleaner on hand. It cleans permabound, econoclad and
plastic laminated books very well and is relatively cheap.  (MaryAnn
Rizzo)

        Find one volunteer who enjoys book repair.  Train her with a video or
book and let that one person do all the needed repairs.  (Jan Ziglin)

        Kapco in Ohio has a video and demonstration pieces.  1-800-843-5368.=20
