Copying and Faxing
Photocopiers are available at all three libraries. Copies cost 10¢ and require change or dollar bills. Faxing is currently only available at the Southern Boone County Public Library in Ashland.
Meeting Rooms
Nonprofit groups can reserve meeting rooms for free at the Callaway and Columbia libraries.
Study Rooms
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.
Tutoring
During the school year, MU students provide free drop-in tutoring for children at the Columbia Public Library.
Library Tours & Speakers
If you or your group would like a tour of one of the libraries, we would be happy to show you around. Tours can be customized to feature demonstrations of resources such as the online catalog, reference databases and various specialized collections and services. We can also make arrangements to have a librarian come talk to your group about libraries and library services.
Please contact your library to schedule a speaker or a tour. (Please give us at least two weeks notice prior to your preferred tour date.)
Library bookmobiles can also sometimes be scheduled to come to schools or community centers for a tour, especially if your school or center is in a smaller community outside the reach of one of our main libraries. To ask about a bookmobile visit and tour, contact the Outreach Department.
