Unfortunately, the library does not have a public fax and no longer has typewriters. However, our Tulsa Organizations and Services (or TOS) database has compiled a list of places in the Tulsa area that do provide these services. You can find the full list here.

Note that the Tulsa County Law Library in the County Courthouse has a typewriter, and that area Fedex Kinkos locations, as well as the downtown Quikprint and Copy-Scan offer public fax. These services are available for a fee.

Also, for a limited time (the remainder of 2009), Office Depot is offering free resume faxes and copies, up to 25 single-sided pages. For details, see the link at the top of the TOS entry.
