Kary Barth will be conducting a free book repair workshop for several libraries in the Knoxville area the week of 8/13/2018. Since she will be in the Tennessee area at that time, she wanted to reach out to the other libraries throughout the state of Tennessee to see if any of them would like to schedule a free book repair workshop for their library. Here is her information: Kary Barth, Regional Manager Phone: 800.791.8965, Ext. 212 Phone: 217.671.0855 E-mail: [log in to unmask]<mailto:[log in to unmask]> 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
