Chambers County Library System
Photocopy, Printing, and Fax Machine Policy

Copyright
The person making copies is responsible for compliance with all copyright laws. The laws are posted near each copier.

Photocopying
Making enlargements or reducing material can require more than one copy to be made. All copies must be paid for, not just the final “good” copy. The staff is always ready to assist patrons.
Various sizes, weights, and colors of paper are available for use. White paper is standard; ask staff for assistance otherwise.

Photocopy and Print Charges
Students are allowed 5 free copies from reference or circulating materials in the library, and non-students are allowed 5 free copies from non-circulating reference materials. Items may also be printed from the computers. Five pages are allowed free of charge for students using those pages for homework. After the first 5 copies, the library charge is:
Black and white copies 10 cents
(or black ink on colored paper as available)
Color copies (colored ink) 50 cents

The general public is charged at the rate of 10 cents per page beginning with the first page printed.

Fax Machines
Local or “800” calls to send faxes are free of charge. Calls to long-distance numbers are charged 50 cents per page. Incoming faxes cost 10 cents per page.

IRS Forms
Tax forms provided by the U.S. government in bulk to the libraries are free of charge to library patrons. Copies produced for patrons by the staff or on library copiers are 10 cents per page.

Receipts for printing and faxing can be provided by the library staff.

Laminating Policy and Form

Laminating Policy and Form

The Chambers County Library System has a laminating machine. Library staff will accept patron posters to laminate, with the following restrictions:

 The patron understands that, in handing the item to the library, that the library system is performing a service, and will do its best to return the item in better condition. The library system will not accept any responsibility for damage, nor can any improvement be guaranteed.

 A pre-paid charge of $1.00 per linear foot for each item is required before the library system will accept any items from a patron. This is non-refundable. The cost is for the materials used, the staff time involved, and lamination process. Items smaller than 8.5 x 11 inches cannot be accepted.

 This form, with all information filled out, must accompany the pre-paid fee and the item(s) to be laminated. Checks or cash may be used: make the checks payable to “Friends of CCLS.” Staff members will route the items to the Technical Services Department on the regular schedule.

 Laminating will be done on a regular staff schedule. Bear in mind that once delivered to the library staff, the item may not be available for a full month, and staff will not be able to provide any updates on the status of the process.

 The library system will accept for laminating only items that are personally owned by the patron, and retains the right to refuse service for any reason.
