document resoration
by Kate, Scheid 21 Mar '17

I just had a question from a patron who is looking for someone to restore two documents. They are paper about 12" X 14". One has a small tear and they are both wrinkled. He would like to frame them. Any ideas on who might do such a thing in the Flint/northern Oakland County area? Thanks Kate Scheid, MLIS Director Holly Township Library 1116 N.
