This hands-on session at the Delaware Public Archives will equip you with essential skills to address common book issues, including hinging covers back into place, tipping in torn-out pages, and repairing rips and tears. You'll also gain valuable insights into assessing when a repair is appropriate versus when it might be time to consider weeding a book from your collection. Learn practical techniques to extend the life of your library materials while also understanding how to manage your collection effectively. Whether you're new to book repair or looking to refine your skills, this workshop will provide you with the tools and knowledge needed to effectively manage book repairs and preservation in your library.
If you would like more information about book repairs, feel free to email us at archives@delaware.gov.
