This morning, Gregor is leading the workshop "Basic Book Repair: Getting It Right - Good In-House Repairs of Library Materials". Several participating librarians have requested that we take photos of this program in order that they can better promote how they continually update their library skills* to best serve their communites.

* One of the many benefits of WMRLS membership is free-of-charge continuing education workshops for member library staff on such topics as basic book repair, reference databases, long range planning, and guidance for library staff in new technologies.
