Espresso Book Machine Coming in June!

The Espresso Book Machine (EBM) is a new book-making machine that can, in a matter of minutes, print and bind library quality paperback books on demand. The EBM prints books using digital files produced by digitization and is available on a Web database. Requiring minimal human intervention and maintenance, all printing, book block milling, page jogging, cover alignment, binding, and shearing are performed in a continuous mechanical process for a cost of about a penny per page.

A heartfelt thank you to all the Library supporters who made this possible!
