Without book menders, library would be in a bind

A Nice Story on some swell ladies who spend their afternoons at the library mending damaged books. The most common books that come to Haggard for repairs are Harry Potter books and Curious George books. They aren\’t sure sure if it was because of poor manufacturing or because the books are so popular.

\”The program, established more than five years ago, saves the library more than $1,000 each month, Baumbach said. \”When you consider the staff time it would take to do it ourselves and the cost of replacing these books, it well exceeds $1,000,\” she said.\”
