Had a look at the book creating site "Lulu".
Found this quite fascinating with the ability to create your own publications of all sorts and have them bound at what seems to be a very cheap rate and then distributed for sale if you wish - with the added claim that because of the site's 'no. 1 rating among self publishing websites' your work will appear at the top of searches in google etc.
I loved particularly the photo books you can create with full binding etc. (I have seen this done professionally and it is very expensive.)
I think there would be many uses in libraries for this sort of technology, such as annual reports, brochures. poster etc.
I like the idea of a library produced calendar with the year's main events printed in it as well as all sorts of promotions and information included. The run would probably have to be restricted though or the cost could still be prohibitative.
A great idea (and more economic!)I think would be to have a children's book writing and illustrating competion, with the winner receiving a bound copy of their book.
