Wireless Printing (Outside Our Network)

Lexington Public Library provides our customers with the ability to print from personal computers to Library printers.  When you are inside one of our buildings and connected to Library WiFi, this page will automatically direct you to download the print client software for that location.

We have detected that your device is not connected to our wireless network.  Wireless printing is only available while connected to Library WiFi.

Please click here once you have connected to WiFi at any Library location.

Fax and Scan Services

All Lexington Public Library locations provide free, self-service faxing and scanning.  Scanned documents can be saved to a USB drive or emailed.  Please note:  we can only send faxes; we cannot receive them.

Can I see a list of items I've checked out in the past?

By default, the Library does not maintain a list of items you've previously borrowed.  If you would like to activate this feature for your account, please ask a staff member on your next visit to any of our locations.  You will be asked to complete a short form.  Activating your loan history will only track borrowed items from that point forward, not items that were borrowed prior to activation.

I have a meeting at the Central Library. Where do I park?

The Lexington Public Library Parking Garage is accessible from both Main and Vine Streets, and the Library provides two hours of validated parking.  Attendees should have their Lexington Public Library Parking Garage tickets validated at the first floor service desk.  Groups wishing to pre-pay for attendee parking beyond the two hours can make arrangements at the time of reservation.

I want to advertise my event. What is the correct way to advertise the meeting location?

Can I begin my meeting before the Library opens or end it after the Library is closed?
