Assessing Items for Book Repair
Librarians who notice a book is damaged can route it to the Technical Services Assistant for evaluation.
An item should go to book repair when a patron might be dissuaded or unable to use it because of its condition. This includes, but is not limited to:
- Ripped or falling out pages
- Torn endsheets
- Broken spine
After receiving the item the Technical Services Specialist will determine if an item should be repaired, replaced, or discarded.
