Transmission Issues

If the first call results in a busy signal or other failed connection, four more attempts will be made to transmit in the next 10 minutes. If failure persists for 10 minutes, transmissions may be resubmitted one hour later. If the call still cannot be completed, library staff will ask the patron to verify the phone number.

Only the patron may determine the success of the transmission by calling the recipient. Library phones cannot be used for this purpose. Patrons must be in the library to send faxes.

The library is not responsible for ensuring successful transmission of outgoing faxes, nor is the library responsible for any damage, loss of data or consequential damage arising out of the use of this service.

Availability

Faxing service ends fifteen minutes before the library's normal closing hours.

Scan

Scanning to a USB drive may be completed directly by patrons. Instructions for use are available on site. If help is need, please ask for assistance from library staff. For assistance with scanning, please visit the Information Desk.

Cost

There is no cost to scan items to a USB drive. The library does not provide USB drives for use. If you need a USB, you can purchase one at the Information Desk for $5.00.
