- Q
- Can I get copies expanded or reduced in size? Can I select the size of printing paper?
- A
- The Library reserves the right to choose the size of copy paper within the scope outlined in the Photocopy Fee Chart, although we will sometimes offer the patron a choice from several alternatives.
The Library strives to handle a large number of copy requests promptly and fairly with limited staff resources. Therefore, it is not possible to fulfill special individual requests such as expansion (zooming) or size reduction of copies. All requests are handled uniformly. Thank you for your understanding.
