This workshop is designed to demonstrate quick and easy techniques for extending shelf life on general circulating materials. Prevention is the key, but we will be addressing specific, common repairs: tipping in loose pages, broken spines, torn header caps, ripped and torn pages.
Each participant is asked to bring two paperback books, 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; a book that needs to have a loose page tipped in; and one hardbound book that needs repair.
Each participant will be provided with a free sample packet of materials.

Formerly the National Library Sales Manager for Kapco, Kary authored a basic book repair guide from Kapco and has presented book protection/repair workshops in various venues throughout the US.
