Braving wind, hail and rain twenty one librarians converged on Dargaville Intermediate School Thursday 7 July to have a look at ways to cover books.
After a masterful display from Linda and Allison, so kindly lent to us by Kaipara District Council Dargaville Library for the afternoon, we all rolled up our sleeves and had a go. Also presenting was Fleur Simpkin from Ruawai Primary who shared her proficiency with the sticky stuff (cover seal / duraseal) and made it look easy (which we found it was with her fool-proof methods).
Warwick from Book Protection Products was in attendance and keenly showed us all how to save and preserve books with his drill and stitch method. Dargaville High School Library was the lucky winner of Book Protection's Library Find-it Index.
Even those who have been covering books for years learned a few new tricks, and if the decibel level is any indication of the value of the workshop then it was uproariously successful!
Thank you to Kim and Diane from Dargaville Intermediate School for hosting us all in their very warm and welcoming Library.
