Virtual Tour of Southeast Library Bindery

Please join us as we follow a book through Southeast Library Bindery, our commercial library bindery, located in Greensboro, North Carolina.  This tour, of course, only gives a general overview of the many steps that occur in a commercial binding operation.  The bindery is mass producing unique items, an amazing feat in and of itself.

The book's first stop in the bindery is the unpacking station. 

Employees unpack the boxes and count the numbers of periodicals, monographs, pamphlets, serials, etc we have shipped to them.
