Our internship program for librarians from China continues as we welcome two librarians from the China Agricultural University Library in Beijing. Pan Wei, Deputy Director and Zhang Hongping, Associate Research librarian, arrived in Ithaca May 11 and started working in the Conservation Lab May 20. They began by making pamphlets.
Lily (one of our translators) watches Pan Wei (center) and Hongping (right) sew pamphlets.
Then, they learned how to make case bindings before learning how to repair books from the circulating collection.

On Monday, we visited the book repair department at Syracuse University.

We have enjoyed working with our 2 translators: Lily and Jiali.
