Self-Serve Office Services

Walk-up COPY PRINT FAX LAPTOPS

Office services – available at the library

Copying, printing, faxing and scanning services are available to customers at a new self-service station located in the north vestibule of the library’s underground parking garage. Everything in the area is self-directed and is available for customers to use for up to 10 minutes while our building is closed to the public.

Equipment includes a Simplescan station for faxing and scanning, a color copier, a black and white printer, an express computer station and a shredder. The selfservice area is limited to one party at a time. All other customers should wait outside until the previous customer is done using the station. Face masks are required.

Library staff are available to offer verbal guidance but no hands-on tech support is provided. Call 847-870-5224 for assistance. The self-service station is available from library opening until 15-minutes before library closing.

When our building is open, you’ll find these services on the first floor near the Tech Learning Center. Visit our website for the latest news on library closures and services at ahml.info/stayinformed.
