How Law Library Access Works at FTC Oklahoma City (ELL terminals, hours, copies)

The main law library at FTC Oklahoma City is on the 2nd floor, in the education area. That's the central spot for legal research and related services.

The library has three Electronic Law Library (ELL) terminals. With only a few shared stations, timing matters - your loved one may need to plan ahead to get research time.

  • ✓ Sign a “Request for Withdrawal of Inmate’s Personal Funds” before copies are made, so the copy charges can be paid.
