Print at the Library

Item 1 of 3

Option 1: Print with the SPOT™ Global Print Web Portal

Submit your print jobs through your web browser by visiting the SPOT™ Global Print Web Portal.

Option 2: Print from anywhere with the SPOT™ Global Print App. 

Printing just got easier with the SPOT™ Global Print App for mobile devices and desktops. Previously, patrons were required to connect to a specific Wi-Fi access point to send files to print. This made it impossible for at-home printing or printing from some mobile devices that were not compatible. Now, patrons can send files from their homes, or anywhere they are on their mobile devices to a branch for the printing queue. Print jobs will be held for 48 hours and will not complete until the patron releases it with their assigned SPOT™ PIN at the branch they sent the print job.
