• The library offers free access to computers and legal research materials.
• Reference services are provided in person or through email at fcll-info@franklincountyohio.gov.
• Copying/printing is $.10 per page for black and white or $.25 per page for color; wireless printing is available, but library staff cannot assist patrons in the use of their own devices (phones, tablets, etc.).  Forms are also $.10 per page.
• Faxing is $.25 per page outgoing and $.10 per page incoming.
• Notarization is $3.00 per appearance and requires a valid government-issued ID.  A photo of the ID is not adequate, and the ID must either be current or not expired for more than three years.  Documents must not be signed prior to appearance before the notary and must meet Ohio's legal requirements for oaths or acknowledgments.  The Franklin County Law Library cannot guarantee notarization services if any of the legal requirements are not met, and all notaries are free to independently refuse service if they have reason to do so.
• Scanning is free, but patrons are encouraged to bring their own USB storage devices if they are scanning large files.  Smaller files can easily be scanned to email from the library's public scanner.
• Please note that at this time, the only form of payment the library can accept is cash.

The Franklin County Law Library Resources Board has adopted rules and policies for library use.  All library users are expected to follow rules for the proper use of library spaces, resources, and equipment.  Users must also follow an approved code of conduct for acceptable behavior within the library.  Failure to do so may result in removal and/or loss of library privileges.  These rules are detailed in the Library User Policy Manual, which is available in the library.  The digital version is also posted below.
