How much does printing and copying cost?

  • Scanning: $0.05
  • Black & white prints and copies: $0.20 per side
  • Color prints and copies: $0.60 per side

If you have a library card, your account will automatically be set to a balance of $20 worth of free printing on the first of the month. If additional prints are needed, please add money to your library card. Any additional funds will stay on your card indefinitely and be available to use if you run out of free prints or need to pay fines.

To add funds with cash, use a Red Kiosk located near one of our printers. Please note, you must deposit at least $1 per transaction on your library card or on your Pay4Print account. Add money to your Pay4Print account to print out the number of pages you need.

You can also manage your print funds by logging into PrintCenter.BPL.org using your library card number and PIN. You can securely add funds via a PayPal transaction, either using PayPal funds or a variety of credit and debit cards.
