Scraping complete. Now, it's time to spackle the little holes, indents, and blemishes. Let's heal the Commonwealth Reading Room (CRR 814) at the Erie Labor Temple!

BOOKFORGE (ECPL HistERIE Week 2023): traditional bindery + restoration, research-driven, historically accurate, teaching-forward.
Union bookbinders once met at the Erie Labor Temple, part of a wider labor network shaping apprenticeship standards. The Temple’s new life as a creative venue is built on that legacy, spotlighting hand trades.
