Printing can be submitted from any web-connected device through our Remote Printing Portal. After submitting a print job, you may choose contact-free pickup or come into any open library to print it yourself at a print release station. See How to Retrieve Your Print Job for detailed instructions for each option.

You will receive $7.00 printing credit on your library card each week. Print jobs exceeding your weekly credit cannot be printed using the contact-free method, but funds may be added at print stations for larger print jobs.

Printing can be in black & white or color. See Print Costs for pricing details.

How to Retrieve Your Print Job

To have the Library print the job for contact-free pickup, select the Notify Library button. A form will open. Select a library, enter your library card number, and submit. Please allow at least 2 business hours for documents to be printed and available for pickup.

Print Costs

Each week, you will receive $7.00 printing credit with your library card. This credit can be used for any of Sno-Isle’s print-related services, including black and white or color printing. Print allowances do not carry over.

For print jobs that exceed your remaining weekly credit, you may add funds at an in-building print station. Cash or credit is accepted.

8.5 x 11 inches (standard paper size) black & white: $0.10 per page
8.5 x 11 inches (standard paper size) color: $0.50 per page
8.5 x 14 inches (legal paper size) black & white: $0.10 per page
8.5 x 14 inches (legal paper size) color: $0.50 per page
11 x 17 inches (ledger paper size) black & white: $0.20 per page
11 x 17 inches (ledger paper size) color: $1.00 per page

When you choose to print in color, the printer will automatically detect which pages in a job are in color and which are not, and charge accordingly.

For example, if you print a ten-page document that contains one page in color, the printer will charge you $1.40 for the job: $0.50 for the one color page and $0.10 for each of the remaining black & white pages.

You may still choose to print your job entirely in black & white. The color page would print in black & white, and you would be charged the black & white rate for the entire job.
