😱Sometimes SFPL's Preservation Unit has to repair books that haven't even been used yet! Coffee table books like these are made from heavy, glossy paper, and unfortunately their bindings aren't always up to snuff. These books broke along their hinges before they had even been cataloged, but never fear! Preservation Unit staff are able to rebind these books in-house so that they can survive backpacks and book drops--not just coffee tables. 💪📚 #sfplpreservation #circulatingcollection #libraryco
