Many large or academic libraries have staff specifically trained to care for their collections, but public and other small libraries don't have that luxury. So how can the small library extend the usable life of its collection with little staff time or money? This book will walk library staff through how to take care of their collections from the simplest repairs through to more complex ones to treat not only their hard-cover adult collections but their paperbacks and children's books as well. While many treatments will follow the best practices of preservation and conservation professionals, activities will be simplified, and the range of viable repair materials will be expanded to show that repairs don't always have to be completed to the highest standards but can always be completed to the best of the library's abilities.
