PRESERVATION COMMITTEE DISPLAY
ZX display entitled "Book Use, Book Abuse, Book Conservaticn," is currently
on view in three cases in the center of the lobby of King South. In two of
the cases are books from the King Library Collection that have been damaged
either through normal use or by abuse by patrons, or injured by vermin. The
exhibit also includes photographs highlighting some of the problems of book
abuse and suggestions of how patrons can help to protect the library's
priceless book collection. The third case emphasizes conservation and
preservation methods including microfilming and the work of the UK Library
Bindery. A patron was prompted by the exhibit to put a note in the Reference
Department suggestion box which said: "The book use/abuse display in the lobby
is very nice!" The display was designed by Jean Trimble, Tommy Graham and
Judy Brown, members of the Library's Preservation Committee.(Submitted by Judy
Brown.) »
