Print, Scan & Photocopy

Please note that fax machines are only available at the Douglass Branch. Learn more about faxing.

Customers who plan to use a printer or copier should have change or $1 bills to use in the self-service machines. 

Customers who have a DPL library card can also use a credit or debit card to put money on their library account to pay for prints. Credit and debit cards do not work for photocopying.

Faxing is currently only available from the Douglass Branch at 3666 Grand River Ave. 

You can send out up to 25 pages from the Douglass Branch, free of charge. You cannot receive faxes at the library.

The Detroit Public Library does not offer notary services. Some banks may provide free notary services for their account holders and customers.

The library may not be able to accommodate large (50+ page) photocopying or print jobs given time constraints and the need to serve all customers in a timely manner. Customers should consider taking large photocopying and print jobs to a commercial vendor.

If submitting a print job from outside of a library location, please place submissions within two hours of the library's opening time. Jobs submitted before this time are not always consistently processed by our offline systems.
