Christina Thomas became a bookbinder and conservator a little by accident and a little on purpose. Her chance undergraduate job as a Book Repair Technician in the BYU Library laid the foundation for her to go on to complete the Bookbinding diploma at the North Bennet Street School in Boston. Christina accepted her current position as a library conservator much more intentionally than her student job, despite claiming in a 2001 journal entry about her book repair job, “At least I won’t be doing this the rest of my life!”. She is still here, twenty-five years later, learning, teaching, problem-solving and discovering for the rest of her life.
