Additionally, fax page size will need to be the standard 8.5 x 11 or smaller; larger documents will need to be copied at $.10 per page to adhere to this sizing. Pages that are extremely wrinkled, thin or otherwise deemed unlikely to send will also require copying at $.10 per page. The Waupun Public Library only accepts cash or check as payment methods.
