Huntington Historical Society will host a two-part Book Binding workshop with instructor Paul Belard on Wednesdays, September 11 and  18 at the Conklin Barn, 2 High St., Huntington from 6:30 to 8 p.m.

Do you have books that you would like to see repaired, e.g., Bibles, cookbooks, heirlooms? Do you want to make a box for a precious volume, documents, or mementos, etc? Then this course is for you. Bring the books in need of attention. You will be shown how they can be repaired.

Trained in Paris, a book binder and restorer for 35 years, Paul Belard taught book restoration at CW Post Adult Education for several years. More recently — from 2015 to the arrival of Covid — he mentored at the Norwood Avenue Elementary School in Northport, where a group of young book enthusiasts had created their own club, The Book Doctors.

Fee is $45 per person, $35 members. To register, call 631-427-7045, ext 401 or click here.
