You need to purchase a pay for print card from the circulation desk to print, photocopy, or scan at the library. Printing and photocopying cost $0.05 per side. Double-sided printing and photocopying cost $0.10 per page. Scanning is free of charge, but you need to have a pay for print card and a USB drive in order to scan.

Payment methods include cash, debit, or credit card. The minimum deposit is $1 and the maximum deposit is $20.

To reduce printing costs, try these tips and tricks:

  • Use the "Print preview" feature to double-check the length and format of the document.
  • Edit the document on the computer and print only the final version.
  • For PowerPoint documents, select "Print" and click "Full page slides," then select the number of slides you want to print per page. You can print up to nine slides in one page.
  • Avoid printing web pages. Copy the text needed from the website, paste into a Microsoft Word document, and print only that document.
  • Print at home if possible.
  • Save documents on a USB drive or email them to yourself to read on your computer, e-reader, or other portable electronic device.
