- The library now has two card readers and print stations and you can send your print job to either one, eliminating the wait. One is located across from the Reference Desk and the other is right around the corner in the room that says Copier. That room also has the card dispenser and a dollar bill purchases a card with $0.60 already on it. The card is yours to keep and value can be added to it on the same machine.
