Learn how to make basic book repairs for circulating or general collections in this one-day, hands-on workshop taught by UCLA Library’s Book and Paper Conservator, Nicole Alvarado. Participants will spend the first hour and a half learning about proper book handling procedures and examining bound materials. This will be followed by hands-on practice performing basic repairs such as hinge repair, minor spine repair, tear repairs, and tipping-in loose pages.
Due to the hands-on nature of the workshop, attendance is limited to 15 participants.
