SUMMARY:Getting Started with Book Mending (ALA Webinar)
DESCRIPTION:The Massachusetts Library System is pleased to announce that we

 \n\n\nDescription\n\nWith budgets shrinking and communities trying harder 
 to be eco-conscious\, it is more important than ever to utilize our 
 resources wisely. This webinar will provide learners with an introduction 
 to three very common book construction issues that are endemic to the 
 modern construction of books with flimsy paper covers and ineffective 
 adhesives. The information will be presented in a way that any size library 
 can benefit from and provides a sliding scale of alternative tools and 
 materials for every budget.\n\n\n\nLearning Outcomes\n\nBy taking this 
 webinar\, participants will:\n\n\n	\n	Understand the difference between 
 library book mending and archival book repair.\n	\n	\n	Discover how to 
 improve the strength of highly circulated library books so that they will 
 have more circulations.\n	\n	\n	Learn how your library can be more 
 sustainable and save money through relatively inexpensive\, quick fixes for 
 very common modern book problems.\n	\n\n\n\n\nPresenter\n\nSophia Bogle’s 
 expertise is in book restoration\, with over 30 years of experience 
 restoring valuable books. She has a diploma in Book Conservation from the 
 American Academy of Bookbinding and has been teaching book repair and 
 restoration online as well as in-person at libraries\, universities\, and 
 to book collectors for many years. Sophia received her MLIS from San Jose 
 State University and is currently working at both the Springfield and 
 Eugene Public Libraries in Oregon.\n\n\n\nAccessibility Information\n\nIf 
 you have questions or requests regarding accessibility\, contact ce@ala.org
