Hi Erica & Libs-OR,

The Portland State University Library Media program offers a beginning 
book repair class every fall term.  It meets for two weekend sessions (a 
Friday evening and all day Saturday) at PSU and focuses on putting 
library books back together using tried-and-true conservation 
procedures.  Students may take the class for undergraduate or graduate 
credit but there is also a non-credit option.

I'm the instructor, and I'd be happy to answer any questions you or 
anyone else has about the class and what's in it -- unfortunately I 
couldn't find any course information online at the moment, as the fall 
term offerings are now out of date, but I can give you more specifics 
directly if you'd like.  This year's class will meet on October 22 
(4:30-8:30 p.m.) and October 23 (9-4).. some time from now, but just in 
case!

Thanks,
Carolee
