Sewing Bench
If any resewing is done a sewing bench is a necessity. Ordinarily books needing resewing should be sent to the bindery.
Glue-pot
A double-boiler glue-pot is a necessity if recovering or recasing is to be done. It should be kept clean.
Brushes
A long-handled, small-sized brush with soft bristles will be used for pasting, while glue will require a large, round brush such as is commonly used in binderies.
Pasting Machine
A good pasting machine will cost about ten dollars, but it is a great time saver. There are several on the market. In the Wilmington Library the "Universal" is used and gives satisfaction in all cases when a machine can be used.
Cutting-Board
A small-sized cutting-board, such as is used by photographers, is useful in the mending room as well as in other parts of the library.
