Costs $.10 to print at the library.

I’m fortunate to have a library just down the street so I go over there.

I also don’t have to print anything very often so I’ve only had to do that a couple of times in as many years.

My library offers $7 worth of printing free each week with your Library. I am curious how many households actually still have printers these days.

The public library here (and it's far from alone) offers free B&W and color laser printing, free large format printing and free 3D printing. Libraries are awesome.

(I am married to one of the library's administrators, so I may be slightly biased, but really, go check out your local library.)
