NEW COLORED BOOK COVERS IN THE LIBRARY STACKS


As book lovers and conservationists we don’t like to remove original bindings. We work hard in the Preservation Room trying to save as many books as possible from a new binding and restoring them to their original aspect whenever it is possible.
 
 
Many times we don’t have a choice other than to remove the original covers as the extent of the damage, or massive use, has made the book unable to return to our stacks. Thus, we have been carefully rebinding them in a stronger conservation cloth (Linen Buckram), in several different colors, not only giving our books a new life but our patrons an almost new book.
