  • Located on the main floor of the library attached to the library’s scanning station.
  • The fax machine will send outgoing faxes only and will not receive incoming faxes.

  • Cost for domestic fax: $1.00 per page.

The Library, with assistance from the Friends of Flossmoor Library, has purchased a great piece of technology.  This oversized scanner is located in the business center.  Using a simple touch screen menu, you can scan black and white or color images and documents and save them as various file types.  If you choose to save as a Word document, the file you create will be fully editable.  After scanning, simply save the file to your USB drive or you can choose to e-mail it to any e-mail address.  This service is free to use unless you fax from the device.

Some specifics:

  • Flatbed Scanner – up to 11″x17″ size with patented Book-Edge LED Scanner (designed to protect your book’s spine).
  • Bullet Scanner – allows you to scan multiple pages quickly.
  • The BookScan Station allows you the flexibility of saving your scanned items in just about any desired format including: DOC, JPG, PNG, TIFF, GIF, PDF, PDF/A, PDF/Secure, PDF/Searchable, PDF/Compressed, and PDF/Encypted.
  • Powered by ABBY Fine Reader technology, the BookScan Station features optical character recognition accuracy on documents as large as 11″x17″.
  • The BookScan Station can auto-crop, auto-straighten, and auto-orient every scanned page, eliminating the hassles of rescanning pages or manually editing files after scanning.
  • Designed to be easy to use, the touch screen guides the user through the entire scaning process.
  • Step-by-step instructions including setting options for file formats, scan quality, color settings (color, black & white, or grayscale), file naming, and destinations.

The Flossmoor Public Library is excited to announce that it has received a $10,000 federal grant from AgeOptions to assist with closing the digital divide and minimizing the social isolation among our older patrons through access to technology.  

We have purchased iPads and have added helpful and easy to follow instructional videos made to help our patrons keep in touch with families and friends. Each kit contains helpful handouts to get you started – from creating an email address to using Zoom. The iPads also includes a variety of games for your enjoyment.  For those who do not have access to WiFi, please also make plans to checkout a WiFi hotspot.
