Printing

Printing is available at all 14 patron computers in the library. The cost of printing is $0.20 per page. Once you press the print button, please speak to someone at the front desk (we must release the job before it prints). The patron is responsible for all pages that print, so please double check the print settings and be sure what pages will print before clicking "print".

Copying

Copying is available near the library front desk. Patrons may use the copier themselves, or they can request assistance from the library staff. The cost of copying is $0.20 per page. The patron is responsible for all pages that are copied, so please double check the copying settings and be sure what pages will copy before pressing "start".

Scanning

Scanning is available with the assistance of the library staff. Because scanning is only available with the assistance of the library staff, please limit the number of pages scanned below 10. Scans will be produced in .pdf format, which must then be uploaded to an email or downloaded to a flash drive. In the near future, the library hopes to offer a self-service scanning station for patrons to use. Scanning is free, but again, will be limited to 10 or less pages per library visit if staff assistance is required.

Faxes Sent - $1.00 per page
