In honor of Preservation Week, the lab threw the doors wide open to the UC and PLCH communities for a Preservation Lab Open House.\u00a0 Colleagues from both libraries came to find out a little bit more about what lab staff do to keep our collections healthy and patron-ready.
\nWe pulled out all the stops to give our guests a tour of our home away from home.
\n
\nJessica and Veronica talked in-house work, including the simplicity and sturdiness of spine repair that leaves books better than new, as well as the basic book-saving physics of flush binds for heavier books.

\nUsing one of his works in progress, Chris demonstrated a spine repair for an older volume.

\nIn all, over 60 people came down to visit and learn about our work. All sorts of great subjects came up, from the binding on children\u2019s pop-up books to the logistics of building a clamshell box for an artists\u2019 book. It was wonderful to see the conversation between members of both institutions.

\nAnd of course, no great gathering would be complete without a little cake!
