Students who work at the resto- ration say they enjoy what they do. “I’m just constantly learning about new materials and new ways to repair books, [and] there’s always something new we can learn,” Fredrick said. Testin said she thinks it’s important to have Bradley stu- dents helping in restoring books because it improves the treatment of the books in the library when they become more invested in the care of the resources. “Having us work on the books also helps to keep this trade alive, because I had never really heard of paper restoration or book repair as a career before, but it really is a job that gives you a sense of pride and accomplishment,” Testin said. photo by Tessa Armich Students work on the third floor of the Cullom-Davis Library to restore books.
