The Ela Area Public Library recently installed a new pay-for-print software system that's easier to use and provides many exciting new features. Users now have the ability to print from wireless laptops, email-enabled cell phones, off-site locations such as your home or office or anywhere you have access to the Internet.

In addition to the new system, the Library now offers two new high-capacity color laser printers for public use.

For instructions on remote printing, click on the Remote Printing link on the left. For a brief overview of how the new system works, check out our Library Print System page.
