[ISLMA-Share] Repairing books

[Email list for the Illinois School Library Media Association]

Hosting a workshop is a great idea! The Kapco one I attended resulted in a
lot of freebies for everyone, and you get hands on book repair instruction.
The one in Beach Park allowed time for everyone to talk about their biggest
issues and brainstorm how to prevent and/or repair them.
