Photocopying Printing - New AND Improved
 

The library recently upgraded our photocopier and printing services.  The ancient photocopiers of yesteryear have been replaced with modern multifunction machines featuring all of the

 amenities patrons have been requesting over the years. 

photocopier printer

These include the ability to print color and double-sided copies, for only $0.25 per page (each side of a sheet of paper if one is copying a double-sided document).  Our new photocopiers are also equipped with scanners allowing patrons the ability to scan a single page document directly to an email address or flash drive. You can also scan multipage documents without the hassle of scanning each page individually, for free!  

 

For print jobs you still get the first 5 pages free each day. All additional pages are $0.25/page. The new machines print jobs much faster and produce results of better quality than the old printers. We still offer mobile print service which allows you to print from any Internet-connected computer, laptop or mobile device (from inside the Library or anywhere in the world) to one of the library's public color laser printers.
