Remote Printing
Your Pratt Library card now gives you access to a contact-free, remote printing service. Submit print orders online, and pick up at any location.
Submitting Your Print Job
Remote printing services can be used at any location. At this time you can receive up to 20 free black and white prints per day. If you need to print more than 20 pages, you can add money to your library account.
