  1. Ha — Great last photo! This is one of those library responsibilities you never think about — that the books need mending! Thanks for visiting my blog. I’m glad you did, because it led me to yours!

    • Hey Alexis,

      Welcome, and I’m glad you stopped on by. One of the great things about this whole blogging thing is connecting with folks. Thanks!

  2. Awesome! This is the finest thing a person could do with free time. I love that you have this dedication and skill and that you are saving all the poor tired books that have served so many so nobly for so long.

    Keep up the good work!

    • Hi Clarisa,

      Thank you so much! It really is very rewarding to see those poor things show up all battered and bruised and then be able to give them new life.

      Cheers!

  5. I’m so glad to see you share your skill on book mending. I’ve been volunteering at the Kids’ school mending books and realized how huge the problem is as the books are falling apart in their hands and there is so little budget. If I don’t fix them they just don’t have it anymore. I’m trying to put together a non-profit to help as the problem is huge. Soliciting donations and help to get the books fixed. May I point parents to your blog? You explain these simple fixes very well.

    Thank you

    • Hi Jennifer,

      Thanks for stopping by and commenting. Feel free to send anyone this way and let them know if they email me I’ll be happy to answer any specific questions.

      Good on you for the volunteering and taking care of the kids books. By nature of their audience alone, they take a lot of wear and tear. At the Wasilla Library, I’d say about 70% of the books that need mending are from the Juve collection.

      If I can help in any way then please let me know.

      George
