The Library strongly encourages users to proofread their print documents and use Print Preview to verify the number of pages to be printed before sending jobs to the printer. The Library is not responsible for user errors, dissatisfaction with the general look of a printed page, or the number of pages yielded by printing a website or other document. Users are responsible for all attributes associated with a page to be printed.

Vending units are available for users to purchase cards to pay for printed documents. For $1.00, users will be able to purchase a card with $.50 of credit available on the card. Users will be able to refill vending cards at either the card dispenser machine or at any of the print release stations.

There is no charge for pages printed from the Ela Area Public Library District's website or online catalog.

Once a user prints a document, he or she must retrieve the document from the print release station before the Library closes or the document will be automatically deleted. All print jobs received from remote locations, will be automatically deleted 12 hours after they were sent.
