• Printing from the Glenside Public Library District catalog pages and the Library’s website is offered at no charge. There will be a charge for printing from subscription databases, subject links, and other external links.

• Print cards may be purchased for $1.00 at the Card Vend Center in the Lobby: $.50 of that amount will purchase the plastic card itself and $.50 will remain for printing and photocopying.
• Cards should be retained so that additional value may be added to the card as necessary.

• Value may be added to the print card at the Card Vend Center located in the Lobby. The machine does not give change. If $20.00 is deposited in the machine, a $20.00 value will be added to the print card.
• The Library is not responsible for lost or damaged print cards.

• When printing, carefully choose either the complete document, specific pages, or certain highlighted text. Before documents are printed, a screen will display the number of pages to be printed and the total cost for those pages. Clicking on the "OK" button will forward the print job to the Print Release Station. The opportunity to release a print job from the Print Release Station will be available for 40 minutes. Print jobs do not need to be printed immediately, especially if there are additional print jobs to be done.
• Print jobs will be identified by computer name, i.e. asinet1, asra, etc. and job number. The name of the computer is clearly indicated on the monitor. The job number will appear on an information screen on the monitor.
• When you proceed to the print station, you will select your print job by computer name and/or job number. There is an additional opportunity to "OK" the printing. Jobs may not be deleted. However, if you choose not to print a specific job number, those left for longer than 40 minutes will be deleted automatically.
