Printing & scanning

Each of our 19 library locations offers photocopiers, printers and scanners for your use. You can reproduce either your own materials or library materials but please consider copyright when making copies. Our team can assist and direct you to information about copyright and the laws applying to reproduction of materials. As a general rule, there are no copyright issues if you’re reproducing for your own study or research purposes. If in doubt, please ask. Fees apply for printing and copying.

Wireless printing

Select libraries now allow you to print from your own devices. Print from home, from your tablet, or from your smart phone and pick it up from the library at your convenience.

Please note:

• print jobs only stay in the system for 24 hours, and are then deleted permanently after that if not printed. 
• if you do not have your 4-digit Princh code the print job cannot be released.
