  • NEW! Poster Primer and Laminator

    Did you know that Hall Memorial Library now has a poster printer and a large format cold laminator that is available for the public to use?!* Our amazing Friends of the Library group has purchased these two fantastic machines so that we can offer even more services. Printing is by appointment (for now) and you can either create a design on our dedicated computer or bring your artwork in on a flashdrive.
    *Please note that we will be charging a nominal fee to cover the cost of materials. Prices range from $8 for an 18" x 24" poster up to $26 for a 24" x 60" print.
