The Library’s and the Computer Lab’s (Rm. 3.05) One-Card Printing Stations are not working today. The problem has been reported and is being checked on.

You can come to the Jeremy Richard Library to print out your documents by selecting the “CASH PRINTER” printing option. You can either pay by CASH (0.15 cents) or still use your One Card (0.10 cents), just retrieve your documents at the circulation desk and give us your One Card.

Another alternative is visiting the Stamford Public Library (near Starbucks, corner of bedford & Atlantic) to print out your papers (free printing at Ferguson Library).
