You're no longer required to wear a mask while visiting the library. County and state mandates ended at 11:59pm on March 11.
We will continue to:
- Follow directives from Public Health Seattle & King County.
- Use local health data to inform library policies not covered by state and local orders. We will reopen meeting rooms and restart in-person programs when we have determined that it is safe to do so.
We thank you for your patience, cooperation, and support of these efforts.

Tips for Printing
Before you send any print request, use the print preview option in Princh or on your device. Check the number of pages.
You can print up to $1.50 each week for free with your library card's weekly print allowance. That gives you up to 10 black and white or 3 color pages each week.
You have the option to pay for more prints.
If you're not at a library, make sure that the location you're sending the print request to is open for visits.
The printer code is the same for all of the printers at your library.
The printer email address is unique to the black and white or color printer at your library.
Double-sided printing is not available in Princh. (The option to choose a paper size other than letter will be grayed out in the print settings menu.)
