Lansing Public Library Debit Card and Photo ID Library Card/Debit Cards

In order to manage all the printing tasks done at the library computers, Lansing Library has installed printing management software that is designed to be self-service for library users. This system uses your Photo ID Library Card.

Photo ID library card/debit cards have a scannable barcode which will allow you to place monetary value on the card to use to:

  • make internet printouts
  • pay fines and library charges

You will be able to add value to the card at the reservation stations or at the Circulation Desk.

Lost Photo ID Library Cards may be replaced for a fee of $5.00. However, value added to a lost Photo ID Library Card can be replaced.

  1. Photo ID Library Cards are issued without funds attached. You may add value to your Photo ID Library Card at the reservation station.
  2. Print from the internet, the library catalog, EBSCO, NewsBank, HeritageQuest or Ancestry. When you request a printout, the printing software will display the number of pages and the cost. The default is to print black & white. BLACK & WHITE COMPUTER PRINTOUTS cost 10¢ per page, COLOR COMPUTER PRINTOUTS cost 25¢ per page. The software will require you to acknowledge your request for a printout.
  3. If you just click on the printer icon, the printout will be in black and white. To select color printing, DO NOT USE the printer icon shortcut. You will have to use the File menu, select Print, and select the color printer. When you request a printout, the printing software will display the number of pages and the cost. The software will require you to acknowledge your request for a printout.
  4. Go to the printer paysation station in the computer area. There is a separate printer station upstairs and downstairs, print jobs may be retrieved from either paysation. Follow the on-screen prompts to retrieve your waiting jobs and pay for them.
  5. Your cost will be deducted from your debit card or Photo ID Library Card/debit card or you may pay with cash using the attached bill and coin machine.
