Located on the ground floor near the library’s main entrance, the Bindery maintains the library’s print resources in good condition. It is equipped with a wide range of specialized tools, equipment and binding materials which allow for a range of services to be offered. Staffed by two persons, the binding services include:

Theses, research reports and project documents can be professionally bound. Archival boxes for the storage of fragile and rare material can be constructed and gold lettering provided for special items.
