Q: Can I print stuff at my local library?

Use Printers in Public or University Libraries If youve ever wondered, do libraries have printers? the answer is almost always, yes!

You will need a Library card or a copy card to use the self-service multi-function devices (MFDs) and reload kiosks in the Library. Both cards are available at service points in the reading rooms. Credit can then be added to your card at one of the reload kiosks.
