Princh Print from Anywhere the Same Day

From wherever you are, send a file to the Library ahead of time, then come to the Library to print your file yourself.

Please note that your file is not automatically printed. You must come in to the Library to print it yourself.

Your file will remain in the print queue until the Library closes that same day. Lake Forest Librarians cannot retrieve files that have expired. Please plan accordingly.

  2. Come to the Library to complete your print job. You must arrive at the Library at least 15 minutes before close to print your file yourself.
