SEATTLE - The free ride is ending for Seattle Public Library patrons who print get printouts from library computers.

Starting next month, printing anything from a computer at the library will cost 10 cents a page.

Library members now get up to 10 pages a day of computer printing for free. As a result, library officials say the system is subsidizing at least $60,000 a year in printing and copying costs.
