Photocopying, Printing and Scanning

Self-Service Kiosk  

A self-service kiosk is available for our library users to print computer guest passes, easily print documents, photocopy and scan.

Once a document is sent to print. Scan your library card, guest pass or enter your job ID number to access your printing at the kiosk. The kiosk can also print documents from USB.

The user can load money onto their library card, guest pass or pay directly for printing and photocopying.

Payment can be made on the kiosk via cash or eftpos. When money is loaded onto the guest pass it is only available for 24 hours and then it is wiped.  It is recommended to load money onto your library card, which can be used at any time or pay directly. If using the cash function, please make sure to use the exact amount as the kiosk does not give change.

If you are needing help at any time using the kiosk, please ask our friendly staff.
