Wireless Printing
Pick Up Your Print Job at the Library
Using our wireless printing service from Smart Alec, you can send a print job from your laptop, tablet, or mobile device to your local library and either pick up inside or arrange a no contact pick up.
Print up to 10 free pages per day (black & white). Subsequent copies or prints cost $0.15 per page. Staff cannot selectively print individual pages from within a multi-page document, so be sure to upload only the pages you want to print.
We care about your privacy. Documents submitted to print for in-person pick up are automatically converted to PDF and deleted 24 hours after they are uploaded. Any printed documents that aren’t picked up within 3 business days are shredded. Print jobs scheduled for no contact pick up will immediately be placed in an envelope for confidentiality.
Before using our printing service, please read our Acceptable Use Policy.
