Printing
Want to get something on paper?
You can print at the Library!
Printing basics
- You can print at any of our branches for a small fee per page.
- There are different ways to submit your print job depending on whether you're using your own device or a public computer at the Library.
- To keep your print job private, it won't print right away. You must visit the Print Release Station within 4 hours to finish printing and pay. Your print job is available at any public printer in your selected branch—no matter where you sent it from.
Cost
Black & white printing

When you pick up your print jobs, you can choose from several payment methods. You can pay with cash, or tap your Visa, MasterCard, Debit, Apple Pay, or Google Pay card to pay at our Pay Station.
There is a $20 limit per print job with debit/credit.
A temporary $20 SH Vending pending charge will be placed on your account for each transaction. It is a pre-authorization amount that will clear in 5–7 business days but may affect your available balance until then. Don’t worry! You’ll only be charged for what you print.
As of August 2020, Library cardholders receive $5.00 of free, in-branch printing each month. Click here to learn more.
