Binding section in library building in library management

This section is generally located in the basement or some other obscure area. Machinery, material and equipment for mending, repairing and binding of books are provided here. Though having a seperate binderly within the premises of the library, has certain advantages, now-a-days in most libraries major binding work is contracted to outside  professional binders. Only minor pasting and restoration jobs are carried out in the library by the junior administrative staff.
