Partner Event: Snakes in the Library! Book Snakes and Other Preservation-Related Crafts for Library Outreach

Hands-on craft projects can be a great way to connect with library users, spark interest in a particular collection, serve as a fun de-stressing activity during finals week, and introduce users to preservation and book arts.

Join the CARLI Preservation Committee for a webinar focusing on easy outreach crafts, including “snake” book weights and two simple sewn books. No preservation experience is required to host one of these activities in your library!

Presenters

Gabriel Hamer, Conservation Technician at the Newberry Library;
Arthur Hall, Collections Care Graduate Assistant for the University of Illinois Library Preservation Services department; 
Shelby Strommer, Collections Care Coordinator in the Preservation Services unit of the University of Illinois Library
