Is this one of those 1:250K plastic "bumpy" maps put out by Hubbard Scientific? I have never ever served one to a patron as I see little or no reference use for them.

Perhaps model airplane glue instead if Elmers?

Subject: map question

Hello mappers - a local public librarian sent me this question. It seems they have a 1972 Hubbard Relief Map that "got a little torn" and was wondering if I knew anyone who could repair it. I don't, off the top of my head. I think if I were in that situation it probably wouldn't occur to me to find someone who could repair it. I'd probably get out a jar of  Elmer's glue and start sloshing away at it myself. But I'm only tangentially a map librarian. What would you all do?
