Other Services

Lamination Services– Cass District Library has two different lamination services available, which our library staff can perform.

  • Sticky Lamination: The small lamination machine presses objects between two sticky rolls of clear plastic–very similar to contact paper. This is perfect for identification cards, small pictures, or other items under 9 inches in width. This service is available at Main, Edwardsburg, and Howard branches as staff time allows. Sticky Lamination Charges: wallet size – 50¢; 8 ½ x 11 – $1.00 per item
  • Heat Lamination: The large lamination machine seals objects between two pieces of plastic that are rolled through a hot press. It is only available for larger objects. The maximum width for this machine is 18 inches. This service is only available at the Main Library and requires 1 business day for completion. Please note that the heat laminator can discolor items. The library staff will do the utmost to safely operate the machine, but the high temperatures can darken different types of paper or may wrinkle lightweight paper. Heat Lamination Charges: 75¢ per foot

Notary Public– Notary Public services are available at the Main Branch. Please call 269-357-7822 for availability and ask for Brandi. Notary Public charges: $5.00
