You get charged for each side you print. If it's double-sided, you pay double.

Charges apply to in-depth research, including family and local history, as well as for the retrieval and supply of articles, including community newspapers. 

We provide 30 minutes of free research, after which a charge of $25 per half-hour of research applies. One of our research librarians will discuss the scope of any potential charges with you.
