You can also print to our printer from any computer, tablet or smartphone that is connected to the internet. Printing costs 10¢ per side for black & white printing and 40¢ per side for color.

If you want to use a credit card to pay for a printout made from a computer...

1. Open a browser and go to mhl.org/webprint.
2. Upload the document(s) you want to print and choose print options (black & white or color, # of copies, page range, single-sided or double-sided).
3. Jobs that exceed $10 (100 B&W or 25 color pages) will need to be split into multiple jobs before printing from the print kiosks.
4. Enter your library card number or choose a username to find your print job when you come to the library.
5. You can use either print release kiosk near the Reference Desk. Press the print button and scan your library card or enter the username you used when uploading the print job. Swipe your credit card and press Print All. Print jobs sent this way remain in the queue for 24 hours.

May I use my cell phone to receive and make calls while I am in the library?

We request that you set your cell phone and other electronic devices to silent or vibrate mode while in the library. If you need to make or answer a call on your cell phone, please keep your conversation short and speak softly. Long conversations should be conducted in either the front (Main Street) lobby, or the back (Parking Lot) lobby.

The magazine/newspaper I need is on microfiche/microfilm. Can I print the article I need?

You can print from both the microfilm and microfiche readers. Ask a reference librarian for assistance. 

Can I get a document notarized at the Library?

The library has a notary public who is available to notarize documents. Please call 978-623-8434 to schedule a convenient time and to verify that your document meets the Massachusetts Notary Law requirements.

Does the library have a document scanner available for public use?

Yes, we have two scanners attached to a Scan Station in the Reference Area that you are welcome to use on a first come, first served basis.

The Scan Station consists of a touchscreen PC with easy-to-use software that guides you through the process of scanning books, documents, photos and small objects to a variety of formats (PDF, searchable PDF, JPEG, TIFF, Word, HTML), which can then be emailed, saved to a USB flash drive, or uploaded to a cloud storage service. The Scan Station is connected to two scanners. One is a flatbed scanner, which has an 11" x 17" flatbed surface with a beveled edge. The other is a scanner with automatic document feeder, which is capable of scanning large documents, stacks of photographs, and ID cards. The Scan Station is also capable of text translation to and from many different languages and text to speech conversion.

This service was made possible by a donation from the Friends of Memorial Hall Library.    

The library also has a film scanner that can be used to digitize 35 mm negatives and slides.
