Print From Home
Staff Mediated
Staff mediated printing is available by emailing reference@forbeslibrary.org. Please specify whether you prefer to have your prints placed on the hold shelf for self-service pickup or kept behind the reference desk. You have one week from the time of printing to pick up mediated print jobs.
Via PrinterOn
PrinterOn lets you send print jobs to the library printer from you computer, tablet, or mobile phone. Print jobs sent this way must be collected on the day they are sent, before the library closes.
Android and iOS users will have the best experience using the mobile apps from PrinterOn Inc:
If you can’t install the app you can:
- Upload your documents using our Print From Home form
- Send an email to our print service. Text and attachments will be printed. You will receive an email confirming that the print job has been received. At the library, you will enter the same email address used to send the print job in order to retrieve and print your documents.
