[[Lund University library]] was established in 1668 at the same time as the university and is one of Sweden's oldest and largest libraries. Since 1698 it has received [[legal deposit]] copies of everything printed in the country. Today six Swedish libraries receive legal deposit copies, but only Lund and the [[National Library of Sweden|Royal Library]] in [[Stockholm]] are required to keep everything for posterity. Swedish imprints make up half of the collections, which amount to 170,000 linear meters of shelving (2006). The library serves 620,000 loans per year, the staff is 200 full-time equivalents, and the 33 branch libraries house 2600 reading room desks.<ref>Lund University library website, statistics for 2006, {{cite web |url=http://www.lub.lu.se/om-lub/organisation/lub-i-siffror-2006.html |title=Lunds universitets bibliotek - LUB i siffror 2006 |access-date=2008-01-18 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20080329114849/http://www.lub.lu.se/om-lub/organisation/lub-i-siffror-2006.html |archive-date=2008-03-29 }}</ref>
