In addition to printing from Library computers, patrons may print black and white or color documents (letter, legal, ledger) from all laptops, tablets and mobile devices using the Library’s Princh mobile printing app. You can even print from your devices at home and pick up your print-outs at the Library within 24 hours.

Payments are made online using credit card or cash at the Help Desk. Print jobs are not released until paid in full. Jobs older than 24 hours are automatically erased.

FEES: 25¢ ea B/W 8.5×11 sheet; 50¢ ea color 8.5×11 sheet (Paper sizes larger than 8.5×11, such as legal or ledger, incur higher fees.)

Scanning to Email

The printer/photocopier also allows patrons to scan documents that are then sent securely to their email address. Scanning to a thumb drive or other flash drive is not available. These portable devices are convenient but not secure. They can transmit viruses and transfer malware, leading to data breaches and other hacking activity. Always take extra precautions to protect your identity and personal information.

Photocopying

Patrons may responsibly use the Library’s print/photocopy machine during regular business hours. Copyrighted materials CANNOT be photocopied. If you are unsure if something is copyrighted, staff can assist you. In general, permission from the owner, publisher or creator of the piece is required before you can legally photocopy a copyrighted work such as a text book page, musical scores, photos, etc., unless it is considered “fair use.”

Examples of Fair Use (not inclusive):

  • Private study, scholarship, or research: You may make a copy of an article or book chapter for your own use.
  • Teaching: Instructors may make a limited number of copies for classroom use.
  • Criticism and comment: You may quote passages from a work for review or criticism.

Copying copyrighted material without permission or beyond fair use can result in copyright infringement claims and legal action. If you are unsure, please ask for guidance from staff.

FEES: 25¢ ea B/W 8.5×11 sheet; 50¢ ea color 8.5×11 sheet (Paper sizes larger than 8.5×11, such as legal or ledger, incur higher fees.)
