Mobile Printing

SmartALEC is the library’s new mobile printing service. It allows you to send documents to print at the library from anywhere you have Internet access. Your documents do not print until you come to the library to pay and release them.

Prints cost 10 cents per black and white sheet and 50 cents per color sheet.
