Learn how to make intermediate book repairs for circulating or general collections in this one-day hands-on workshop. This workshop will be taught for half of the day by UCLA's Book and Paper Conservator Nicole Alvarado and half of the day by Huntington Library’s Book Conservator Austin Plann-Curley. Participants will spend the first hour discussing considerations in preventive care, bindery services, and when to contact a professional followed by learning to perform intermediate repairs such as re-casing detached case-bindings, spine reattachments, securing partially detached covers, and endpaper replacements.

Who should attend? Library, archives, and other repository staff who have responsibility for the preservation of circulating collections who have taken our Basic Book Repair Workshop in the past or already do basic repairs at their institution and are looking to expand their hand skills.

LIMITED ENROLLMENT: Due to the nature of the course and our limited space, the workshop is limited to 12 participants.
