Wireless Internet (Wi-Fi)All three libraries have building-wide wireless Internet access. You can bring your laptop to the library and use the Internet for free.
Photocopiers are available at all three libraries. Standard black copies cost 10¢ and color copies cost 50¢; both require change or dollar bills. You can use the copiers to scan documents and save them to a USB drive. Faxing is available at all libraries for $1 per page; ask a staff member for assistance.
Basic black printing is available at all three libraries for 5¢ per page. Color printing costs 50¢ per page; ask staff for assistance. We can only allow printing on the standard white paper provided, no labels or envelopes. Wireless printing is also available.
Nonprofit groups can reserve meeting rooms for free at the Callaway and Columbia libraries.
The Columbia library has six small rooms available for quiet individual or group study. To use a room, just ask at the nearest service desk.
Test proctoring is available at each library as staff and time permit. We need at least one week's notice to proctor. The first 2 hours of your first test are free and we charge a nominal fee of $10 for each additional hour to help cover the cost of the service. This service is not for students of local colleges who should seek proctoring at their institutions. Read the full policy.
During the school year, MU students provide free drop-in tutoring for children at the Columbia Public Library.
If you or your group would like a tour of one of the libraries, we would be happy to show you around. We can also make arrangements to have a librarian come talk to your group about libraries and library services.
