During the three-day program, Ó×Å®ÊÓÆµ librarians learned the fundamentals of book preservation and restoration, including cleaning, stitching, and protective binding.Ìý The training also highlighted best practices for preventive care, such as proper storage conditions and handling methods to extend the life of valuable collections. The Ó×Å®ÊÓÆµ librarians gained hands-on experience and practical skills that will help safeguard the library’s heavily used materials, ensuring they remain accessible to future generations.

The AUCA Library team also met with Gaziza Nurgalieva, Director of the National Library of Kazakhstan, to discuss further collaboration on advancing conservation and restoration practices. The training was held as a collaborative initiative under a Memorandum of Understanding recently signed between AUCA and the National Library of Kazakhstan in 2024. The National Library of Kazakhstan houses the Conservation Service, which serves as the Regional Center for Preservation and Conservation of the International Federation of Library Associations (IFLA/PAC).Ìý
