Emergency first aid course for library bindings

How can I attach a loose leaf, how can I repare a partly loose spine, which adhesive do I use and how can I mend a tear? Working with books is regularly confronting us with all kinds of damage patterns. Some of this damage needs fast and solid treatment to ensure the further use in a library or archive.
This course, which addresses librarians or archivists, will show you all necessary steps, tips and tricks and an insight into the world of book- and paper repairs. Regarding the objects, which can be brought to the course, we will focus on the practical work and principles of conservation. Some objects may need further treatment and have to be forwarded to a specialist. There will be time for getting to know more elaborate mending techniques and the necessary materials.
The emphasis is on the practical mending procedures, testing and interchange about various techniques amongst ourselves. Bring your damaged library books or your own objects like children’s books, cook books or your favorite book which need first aid.
