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.
