Bookbinding repairs (open in new tab)

We have opened a bookbinding repair station in the Library. Our most valuable and damaged books are rescued by Ms Agnieszka Kownacka, a qualified specialist with many years’ experience, who works as a library assistant in the library of the Nencki Institute on a daily basis. Ms Kownacka repairs spines, entire bindings and individual pages of books by hand, using bookbinding materials and tools.

Below are the results of the repair work.



Books and journals for free (open in new tab)

Due to the recent selection of duplicates, the Library has more than a houndred of scientific books and journals to offer for free. The following attachment contains detailed list of all items. Materials can be collected on site at the Library (room 36) until December 13th (Wednesday). Attachment
