[ISLMA-Share] Free Training on Repairing Books

[Email list for the Illinois School Library Media Association]

On Tuesday, February 27, 2018, from 9:00 AM to 11:00 AM at the Scott Elementary School Library in Melrose Park, there will be a free training in order to learn how to repair books. This is a wonderful refresher on how to save and prevent damage to those books we love! 


If you are interested, please contact Sherry Sejnost at sejnosts at d83.org mailto:sejnosts at d83.org or 847-455-4818 to reserve your spot.  Space is limited.  Full description is below.


Kary Barth, regional sales manager for Kapco Library Products, has a Bachelor of Science degree from the University of Illinois, Urbana and has worked with libraries since 1990. Formerly, the national library sales manager for Kapco, Kary authored a basic book repair guide that was previously available from Kapco and has presented book protection/repair workshops in various venues throughout the US.


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:  re-inserting loose pages, broken spines, torn header caps, ripped and torn pages.


Each participant is asked to bring: one or 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; one hardbound book that needs repair and a “naked” hardbound book; i.e., a hardbound book that does NOT have a book jacket cover..

Each participant will be provided with a free sample packet of materials.


There is a drawing at every workshop for a DELUXE PAPERBACK PROTECTION KIT       Retail Value     $113.00
