Basic Book Repair Workshop   Sponsored by the North Carolina Preservation
Consortium   July 23, 2010     9:30 AM - 4:30 PM   Atkins Library University
of North Carolina at Charlotte

Books are often damaged by improper handling, poor storage conditions, book
drops, vandalism, and normal wear and tear.  The manufacturing process is
also a factor in deterioration.  Proper repair techniques can prolong the
life of books and reduce replacement and rebinding costs.  Improper
procedures can do more harm, and may render books unusable.  This basic book
repair workshop will teach you how to assess damages early, evaluate
treatment processes, and perform simple, economical techniques to repair
books in general circulating and reference collections.  Recommendations for
setting up a basic book repair work station, purchasing affordable tools and
supplies, and documenting repairs will also be provided.  With hands-on
practical instruction you will learn the following procedures:

Mending paper tears

Replacing torn end sheets
Tipping and hinging torn out pages

Tightening hinges to text blocks
Repairing spines and covers
