Novel Occupation for Women In Bloomfield Schools
A Bloomfield school board program employs two women to repair and revitalize school texts each summer. They clean bind and resew covers, mend torn leaves with onion skin paper, and restore worn pages using simple tools, enabling reuse of most books for another year. The process saves money, with an average repair cost of seven cents per book and rebinding for larger volumes priced higher.
