Printing, Copying, Scanning, Faxing

The library strives to meet the research and homework needs of our patrons, and this includes offering basic office supplies and services.

Printing

At both libraries, printing from computer workstations to a B&W printer is $0.15 per page. The main library also has a color printer and copier, located on the lower level, which cost $0.25 per page.

If you have any trouble with the printers or pay-for-print station, or if you have an unusually large file to print, please see the desk staff for assistance.

Print From Anywhere

The library also has a Print From Anywhere service, which you can use to upload or email your print job – from home, your phone, anywhere – and pick it up at the library. Our reference staff are happy to help!

Photocopying

Public photocopiers are also available at both libraries, for items up to 8.5″ x 11″. At the main library, there is one on the main level across from the Circulation Desk, and one on the lower level next to the print station. The cost is $0.15 per copy. The copier on the lower level offers full-color copies for $0.25 each.

Fax Machine & Online Faxing

A public fax machine is available in the main library, located next to the self-check out machines on the main level. The cost for faxing is $1.75 for the first page, and $1.00 each for any additional pages, and this machine accepts only credit, debit cards (no cash) or pre-paid fax cards (available at the front desk). There is an additional charge for international faxes.

Using this fax machine is very easy – just lift the handset, and follow the verbal instructions provided by the system.
