Send prints to our printer!

The library has Wi-Fi Printing meaning that you can send a print from your device to our printers without installing anything to your device.

Starting TODAY you can use ePrintIt to print at the Oregon Public Library! Send your document from a device with internet access, then pick up the prints at the library.

Prints are $0.10 per page for black and white and $0.50 per page for color copies.
